2016 LG OLED TVs for gaming

The other day I was looking at an E6 OLED 55" and I found out that 2016 LG OLED TVs have two features to prevent image retention and burn-in.


Under Picture/OLED Panel Settings/ there is an option called Clear Panel Noise that shuts down the TV and reboots the TV if there is a static image on the screen for four hours. The other option is called Screen Shift that shifts the pixels to the left.


Anyone here have a chance to get one of these TVs and has the static images like the HUD in Fallout 4 cause the TV to shut down then reboot or see the pixels in the HUD move to the left of the screen? Are there any youtube videos showing games on these TVs?
 
Have the screen shift options enabled on my plasma. Game on it all the time without issue, and never notice it. OLEDs are still susceptible to burn-in, but only if you're abusing the display. I've even seen LCDs with burn-in.

Thing is with games like that, when you talk to NPC's your HUD goes away, look at your pip-boy gone. And then at least in FO3, or maybe it was a mod, you could auto-hide the hud with certain options. If nothing else you can hit escape every 30min or so just to change the image. So there shouldn't be a long term static image unless you leave your tv on and walk away.

I would be more concerned about input lag and how well it performs in games than any IR or burn-in concerns.
 
Back when I 1st got my plasma, I played nearly 150 hours of Fallout 3 and F3: New Vegas on it. No image retention at all. However IF you are playing 4 hours straight, the easier solution is to simply take 1 hour breaks for your muscles, heart and health.
 
I've been using LED LCD TV's for years now with my PC and I have not experienced any burn in issues. That feature above on the LG would not be welcome in my house but tbh I doubt you would have any burn in issues anyway.
