  1) The method to determine bright and dark dots (including panel burn in)

• ■ The eye must be away from the screen by 35cm or more, ambient illumination must be greater than 500 Lux (for example a common office environment).
• ■ Bright dot warranty conditions: Bright dots must be more than 3 dots (which refers to the 4th dot)
• ■ Dark dot warranty conditions: Dark dots must be more than 5 dots (which refers to the 6th dot)
• ■ Please do not unplug your GIGABYTE OLED monitor from the power outlet when using " GIGABYTE OLED Care - Panel Protect". GIGABYTE OLED monitors automatically perform the “GIGABYTE OLED Care - Panel Protect” cycle after every 4 hours of cumulative use to extend the longevity of the panel.
• ■ Burn in Judgement criteria: △Luminance ≦3.5% @ 50% gray (at “Peak 1000 nits” mode)

Interesting warranty statements by Gigabyte, sounds like they can deny burn in coverage just by using it as a computer display that displays the same fixed image for extended periods.

This kind of stuff is why I haven't gone OLED yet no matter how good they look. Until the tech is solid enough for companies to not pull warranty tricks I say stay away.
