Static contrast ratio of 120,000:1, not dynamic according to my calculator

Sounds beautiful. However, I have a 17" MSI laptop with a 4k screen that I run at 1080p because some things (dialogs) are so tiny they are unreadable. 4k may be great for gaming but many of the dialogs can't be scaled.

Do OLED screens still have a problem with image burn in? That would be a major problem for a computer screen, less so for a TV screen.

I love OLED and this is super exciting, except the burn-in. I really hope MicroLED becomes viable soon.

Yea OLED does still have burn in issues, but not as bad. They did a test for burn in for 2017 TVs and only the one playing CNN 24/7 had any major issues.
However this is Samsung, so it's probably more like a phone screen than a TV screen.

What's the subpixel arrangement? Samsung's typical 2-colrs-per-pixel pentile looks pretty horrible when the PPI is below 400... Unless you like it when straight lines and text look like a stacks of jagged fuzzy diamonds.
I wouldn't want to waste all that GPU power on inferior pixels

Phone screen you turn on, turn of very often. Different than using the screen Many hours...
