Odd that there is no mention of the "finally I can rest in peace knowing the dreaded and unavoidable burn-in is covered for the same length as the warranty of the product itself" policy MSI and Alienware have.
Asus has 2 years and for all I care they can keep their monitors, not only are they unreasonable priced way above similar offering but less warranty shows little faith in the anti-burn-in measures employed, probably because the brightness they provide is higher in SDR which will lead to faster burn-in.
It's almost like the warranty basically covers the plastics and the coating of the screen and not the actual panel, odd.

Odd that there is no mention of the "finally I can rest in peace knowing the dreaded and unavoidable burn-in is covered for the same length as the warranty of the product itself" policy MSI and Alienware have.

The warranty is listed as 3 years on parts, labor, and "backlight." The backlight part being dubious given the nature of OLED being self-emitting.

Personally, despite how good OLED actually looks, I can't justify purchasing one given the shortcomings (they are large to me, but could be small to someone else). I wish mini-LED was better on PC than it is, and I am eagerly awaiting micro-LED to see if it eliminates some of the bigger issues of OLED.

Their warranty says this isn't covered:

l. Damage caused by static (non-moving) images displayed for lengthy periods of time (also referred to as image burn-in

So it appears there is no burn in warranty on Viewsonic OLED monitors. The author should be admonished for omitting this.
