Well, keep in mind even as "just a TV" the burn-in occurs when you have static images - that could be the netflix ui, playstation ui, or whatever ui if you leave it on.  OLED's are pretty nefarious for this.  I haven't had cable in like 25 years or watched broadcast tv with random crap all the time, so my TV's tend to be more monitors than anything, usually gaming, Kodi, or one of the streaming services.

Otherwise LED is your primary option, other than maybe a projector these days.  Whether LED, QLED, or whatever the vendors call it, typically relating to smaller, higher contrast LED's are key.  OLED is just definitely a different beast, and you'll notice quick by the 2x cost over any other LED today.

Ohhhhh.... my appologies. This is for a tv. Not a monitor.

At least until the OLED's burn in images over time.  I've seen some on display you can visibly see burned in, that's always been a non-starter for me as they tend to be used more monitors with static images ala my nvidia shield UI than random crap on cable tv that changes it up at least.  OLED's look pretty stunning comparatively, but expect them to be short lived, particularly most being LG's, which anything LG tend to be disposable crap anyways.

I bought a new living room Sharp 70" LCD last year shipped around $700 bucks, and debated getting an OLED instead, but it wasn't worth the (highly) increased cost and risk I'd be pissed after a year or two.  I have no complaints about my 3x Samsung curved LCD TV's I use as monitors after 5 years or so, or the Sharp.

OLED are best.

Each Pixel is it's own light source.

"True Black" only exists on OLED.

Thanks,
