Is OLED burn-in still a concern?

It's less of an issue than before—modern OLED monitors have pixel refreshers, orbit features, and brightness limiters. For gaming, burn-in risk is minimal since content is always moving. For desktop use with static elements, some caution is warranted.

What refresh rate do I actually need?

144Hz is the minimum for competitive gaming. 240Hz provides a noticeable upgrade. 360Hz+ is for esports pros who need every possible edge. Most gamers are very happy at 165-240Hz.
