Owners who chose the B2 keep it for the contrast and motion of OLED, and most of what they discuss is the trade they made on brightness to get it.
Owners are divided on brightness. On the positive side, one owner who tried mini LED first went with OLED anyway, saying the contrast and motion mattered far more than the extra brightness the other panel offered.
The same brightness theme carries the other side: one owner of a 77 inch B2 says they would benefit from more brightness and is considering a step up to a newer, larger LG model for gaming, TV and film.
Pick up to three. You get a page with just those, side by side, on the subjects owners raised.
Once the set is in the room, the conversation among owners turns to brightness, and it does not settle on one answer. Some are content: they describe running it well below its peak because full brightness feels harsh, and they find a faint hint of bloom makes the picture look more natural rather than less. Others notice the ceiling and want more headroom, especially for daytime TV and gaming.
Owners who also run IPS panels tend to keep both. One uses the OLED for single player games and the IPS for multiplayer, and another found that turning the IPS brightness down brought its colours closer to the OLED. The adjustment people describe is less about the panel failing them and more about learning where its brightness sits compared to what they had before.
Burn in is the reliability topic owners raise, and the accounts point in different directions. One owner, checking a mid grey full screen with brightness at maximum, thought they might see a faint trace where the Windows taskbar sits but could not be sure. Another argues that most retention people worry about is preventable with the panel's refresh cycles, a black screensaver on a short timer, and switching the screen off when idle. A third shows what real burn in looks like on a much older OLED after years of a static game interface, to make the point that faint shading is not the same thing.
That is the extent of it. Only a handful of separate owners spoke to burn in at all, and some of those accounts concern other OLED screens rather than the B2 itself, so there is no long-term picture of this set to report yet. Treat the brightness split above as the only theme with enough accounts to weigh.
Nothing with a clear majority yet. Owners who raised these subjects were split, or too few to judge.
Nothing has a clear majority against it yet. Counted from the owners who raised each subject, not from everyone. A subject is judged once at least 4 owners raise it.
