There are only a handful of oled panel makers around, so it's likely to be an unlabeled Samsung or LG...

However if it doesn't have good software you will get screen burn very fast and very bad.

So you need to figure that part out...

While maybe a Samsung or LG display, it will be a panel that failed their quality control for their monitors.

You’d want some warranty for oled, which means getting it from one of the main producers.

If I was to get one it would be a strictly gaming only display after seeing whats happened on a friends oled where the windows logo is burned in where the start button is after a short ownership.

it says 2 year warranty on the listing. Might be a dumb question but is burn in covered by warranty or does that depend on the brand/store?

doesn't matter if its covered by warranty or not, the monitor shouldn't burn in in the reasonable lifespan expected of the monitor by the consumer.

 

If you do dumb things like leave the brightness up and have bright static images on the screen, it will last shorter, but it should still be able to last at least 2 years. At that price (1899 retail) i would expect it to last 3-5 years at least.

Burn-in is almost never covered under warranty. Sometimes extended warranty you can purchase will cover it.

Good luck with CGA if anything goes wrong. My previous comment was referring to the fact that this brand probably doesn’t exist here and you’d have to chase MA for anything. LG at least has a presence here.

This is just flat out wrong. Lots of brands include Burn-In in their warranty.

 

I woudn't touch this unless it had burn-in cover.

Seems like things have changed in the past year or so. At least Dell has stepped up, LG seems to have followed suit retroactively since the paper that ships with their oleds don’t talk about it. Some Samsungs like the G8 explicitly exclude burn-in from warranty in certain regions like Australia but covered in EU.

Best to really read what each manufacturers do cover as it’s still a hit or miss.

Does it really matter what the warranty says? the CGA states the goods must last a reasonable time frame without defects.

It shouldn’t, but it doesn’t stop vendors from pointing at it and saying tough luck unless you throw the book at them. Most people don’t even read the book in the first place.

Burn-in was also considered regular wear and tear and not covered at all until recently, hence my previous comment. They still have clauses around abuse, if the user disables OLED care features like pixel refresh/cleaning etc.

Buying from someone like LG, Dell, Samsung you have less of a chance of hassle if you say the magic words. A rebrand who has no presence here you’re likely to have to chase them and spend time and effort.

I'm surprised no one mentioned these earlier as I noticed both the 240hz and 144hz on sale a week and a half ago. Was interested in the 144hz model myself, but couldn't find any info on Juggernaut let alone these specific monitors. I did do a reverse image search though and found they appear to be identical to ones under the name Nubia Red Magic Realm 48.9" QD-OLED which have a few online posts and reddit comments when they were first announced mid 2023, but I couldn't find a single review which is kinda odd given the amount of time that has passed since then. Several posts seem to imply they use a Samsung panel. Might be an OEM and sold under various brands.

Well, there are limits. If the technology has known and accepted limitations and the manafacturer states them clearly and states they aren't covered, and aren't as a result of a faulty manafacturing process, they wouldn't be covered by the CGA. 

 

You could still go to the DT and you may get a ruling in your favour, but it's much less likely, than the PSU blowing or something similar.

Limits yes, 8-10h per day using word docs/spreadsheets, ie static content, then you would likely have burn in, but if I'm using it at home 3-6h per day for general mixed use at home then it should last 3-5 years without burn in, that's reasonable and that's what the CGA states.

 

Manufactures/retailers can't contract themselves out of the CGA.
