Owners keep the B4 for its picture, especially for console gaming and dark-room viewing, and most of them are happy with it, though a few weigh that against worry about burn-in.
The picture is the thing that wins people over. One owner who runs a 77 inch B4 mainly for PS5 gaming calls the image outstanding and says OLED has ruined other panel types for him, and another who compared it directly against a mini LED set still recommends the B4 for anyone watching in a dark room.
Burn-in is the clear complaint. One owner posted a photo of faint retention on the same model after eight months of use with the OLED care features switched off apart from the automatic pixel cleaning in standby, while another says the panel refresh routines are annoying enough on long sessions that he now regrets moving to OLED and is nervous about burn-in.
Pick up to three. You get a page with just those, side by side, on the subjects owners raised.
What stays good is the image itself. Gaming owners in particular do not go back, and people who put one in a bedroom or basement room still describe the picture as great. The main adjustment is motion: one owner finds OLED motion either choppy or juddery with no comfortable setting in between, and prefers how his mini LED set in the living room handles movement, even though he likes the B4 overall.
The other routine is keeping the screen clean, and here the accounts are mostly positive because owners have settled on methods that work. The tips they share are a clean microfiber cloth with 99 percent isopropyl or distilled water sprayed onto the cloth rather than the screen, a residue-free glass cleaner without soap, or simply a duster so the panel never gets wiped at all. The common failure is an oily cloth that spreads grease around instead of lifting it. Worth noting that several of these cleaning accounts come from people applying the same routine to OLED monitors as well as their LG TVs.
Burn-in is the durability question owners raise, and the accounts lean negative. One shows measurable retention on this model within eight months when the care functions were mostly left off, which suggests the pixel refresh and standby cleaning matter more than owners would like. Another finds those same routines intrusive on long sessions. Customer support is divided: one owner got LG to replace a faulty B4 panel under a five year warranty, but only after more than a month of chasing, while another had an earlier LG OLED panel replaced under warranty years in and says it has run without burn-in since. A third had a bad experience with a different LG model that had lines from day one and had to be returned.
Beyond that, the long-term record here is thin. Several owners run a B4 alongside other LG OLEDs in different rooms and plan to keep them going, but nobody in these accounts has owned a B4 for years, and two of the burn-in reports are about other brands' OLED monitors rather than this TV. Treat the burn-in risk as real but the multi-year picture as not yet established.
