That's the same brightness I was using on my IPS. And if you watched the videos then you'd know that those people use OLEDs at "almost max brightness" and see no burn in.

Such features are unnoticeable during normal use and most of them are defaults.

Again, this is only noticeable if your room is completely black and you're staring at gray content.

To counter your argument, you have a much worse backlight bleeding on IPS, which is very but very visible during normal use. To quote you: "the fact that there's anything, is not a good sign".

It's weird how you call OLEDs bad but completely forget about IPS downsides, and I'm not gonna even start on VA.

At the current state, OLED wins.
