I have 4 OLED TV's and have had a very expensive Pioneer Plasma Kuro TV back in the day (monitor version forgot model - damned thing was $5K). Anyhow, never experienced burn in and I play a lot of games on my OLED TV's, especially the 55OLEDC7 and C8. I play both 2D and 3D games on these TV's and use them as a PC screen. They have a ton of hours on them. It amazes me how some folks get burn in and others don't. I am the latter. 2D games like Zelda / Mario / Dead Cells / etc are especially taxing as they have static images almost all the time onscreen. Not only that, these are bright images (red and such) which historically cause problems. I have gamed hundreds and hundreds (probably thousands) of hours between thes 2 TV's. Long ago when I had my plamsa, these types of games would leave temporary Image Retention for a few minutes and go away - and very distinct too. Meanwhile, I am sometimes on my PC for hours at end with static images and such, but windows tend to have more neutral colours and no issue. By the way, folks worry about the taskbar in windows and it never left anything on my old Plasma back when I had it. Bright images on black, however, would leave serious IR for a period on my plasma but it always went away.
I don't see the problem here. An OLED screen on the switch is a great idea and it's about time (the VITA had OLED long ago). Folks make FAR too much of a big deal sometimes. If you want it, buy it, if not, then move on. Personally, I'm glad they made this move over a PRO model as I'd rather they concentrate on a real next gen switch based on a new architecture, instead of what we have today. Otherwise, it'll be Wii-U all over again and we know how that went.
