Last time we published an OLED burn in comparison, it was difficult to see the impact of burn in throughout the video due to YouTube compression. Just in case that happens again, Patreon members can download a 4K 100 Mbps version of the examples to explore for yourself.LINK HERE: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bEsdf-0andPgr1pqao4l-qUeJUqqMeNL/view?usp=sharing

ICC profiles and CCSS files get added with every review so those are also fully up to date.OSD settings are accessible here: LINK
