Regarding burn-in, I've been using one of these for the past 1.5 years for 99% office work, 8+ hours a day of Word, Acrobat, etc. and haven't noticed any burn-in. I've been really happy with this monitor.
It just seems to occupy a really weird space to me, where it's more like a flex than a usable screen, and yet they seem quite popular. If I wanted something ultrawide but higher res than 3440x1440 I'd take 3840x1600 any day of the week over this. Unfortunately, it seems manufacturers have given up on that resolution in favor of these mega-wide monsters.
What am I missing? Is there something special that I haven't taken into account, or are these things the equivalent of 3D TVs?

Think like a sim racer, additionally there are sometimes tactical/gameplay advantages to being able to see more.

I have been using an oled CX for 4 years at this point for far more than 8 hours a day of work on a windows PC and gaming on top of that and have experienced no burn in whatsoever.
It can happen im sure, but its crazy how people fear monger about a minor issue.

I also just switched to full screen solid colors to check for any burn-in again and saw absolutely zero, even where the taskbar has been daily for 1.5 years.
I did buy the 57" during the BF sale which hasn't come yet. I did this mainly for the increased PPI over the 49". Now I have to figure out how to run it on an Apple M1 Ultra chip...
