The problems are greatly exaggerated. I've been using an OLED as a monitor for 3 years and there are no signs of burn-in. The only preventive measures I take are autohiding the taskbar, and setting my wallpaper to cycle every 30 minutes.

If you do a lot of different things with your PC like I do then you have nothing to worry about. Burn-in issues are more likely if you only do one thing, like play only one game and play it all day long every day. Seriously, buy just buy that OLED and don't stress it.

I would only be happy if the problems are over exaggerated.

I linked a 9 month test further in this thread and the results were not good. It's possible I am making a mountain out of a molehill. I really don't know.

I also do not like auto-hide taskbar and there are work applications that I keep open a lot.

You could always use a second IPS for the taskbar and fullscreen applications.
