LG B6 OLED Question

[aimforsilence]

Hey everyone. So my local Best Buy has a good deal on the LG B6 OLED TV. I realize the B7 is out but to my knowledge not that much has changed between models and for the price this particular Best Buy store is clearing out the B6 I figure it wouldn't be worth the extra cash for a B7. Anyways my main question is about gaming and screen retention. I realize OLED TV's are prone to slight screen retention but wanted to know from people who have OLED TV's or the B6 that play games how bad is it? Should I be worried or not at all? I am aware that you can "Clean" the screen via internal software the TV comes with but how useful is it at "Cleaning" the screen?

That's really the only question I had. Just want to make sure I have all the answers before committing to the big purchase. Also before anyone asks I play games for roughly 2 hours a day at least..

Thanks everyone

I have played HDR and non HDR games for hours, (the kind that have static HUDs, etc), with no sign of image retention. Leave the pixel-shift function activated and let the TV do it's own retention cycles. People handle these things with kid-gloves, but it's really not necessary IMO.

You are right, the 7 series are a little brighter and slightly improved, but the 6 series are great displays.

I'm on my second OLED, and as a 11 year plasma user, I just don't see any IR issues, especially not like plasma. Once the display has been on for 4 hours and you power off with the remote, it runs a 10 minute screen wipe. It runs the hour screen wipe every 2000 hours. The way I use mine, it almost wipes itself every night when I shut it down.

Answers above, my only "complaint" with LG OLEDs is motion, but I run Dejudder on 1 and everything looks nice, you just might have an artifact here or there.
