It's insane with all the problems OLEDS have that they feel justified charging more than a thousand dollars for a monitor. A monitor that no matter what will eventually get burn in.

Let you in on a little secret. Nothing is forever. All panels will eventually burn in.

At least LCD is mostly temporary according to that article.

But pixels do degrade over time, not sure if it counts as burn-in though.

I never said they burn in equivalently. LCD technology has a much longer service life than oled but it will eventually burn in given the right circumstances. Also Pixels degrading over time is how burn in usually works with modern display technology. Nothing lasts forever and we should be cautious that our understandings reflect that in technology, especially when we're using those understandings to build preconceived notions.
