The room does get a lot of light, but we mostly watch at night. We have Denon + speakers for sound and use AppleTV.

I'm not going to beat up this thread with an extended post, but I'm not the biggest fan of OLED TVs. After seeing too many displays ruined, image/screen retention (aka: burn in) scares the crap out of me. I don't want to have to manage what I watch because I'm afraid of image retention. Shadow detail, and peak brightness are also underwhelming aspects of OLED.
However, off axis viewing, and contrast are exceptional.

Picked up a vintage LeJour chrono in PVD, "the poor man's Heuer."

Finally ordered an impact wrench I can bring to the track so I can stop sweating my balls off.

I had a horrible experience with LG waaaaay back in the day when LEDs were brand new, maybe ten or more years ago. The blacks were absolutely horrible so the screen would auto dim when there was a lot of black. It kept dimming and brightening and I couldn't turn it off. I hated it, just a garbage tv. My new 4k LG monitor, however, has been very good so far, so maybe LG has redeemed themselves.

Attached are personal images I saved for instances like this where people think image retention really isn't something to think about. To put it simply, it is a real issue. Manage your viewing.

Fortunately I don’t play video games and CNBC is only on the cheap LCD in my office during the day. The only significant risk to the LG would be leaving Apple TV on the home screen with no one watching but we usually turn off TVs when no one is watching and use a screen saver with the Apple TV in case we stop watching but forget to turn it off.
When we got the plasma 14 years ago, we also heard about potential burn in and plasma’s losing gas such that they wouldn’t last long. But it has served us well.

I notice that your ghost images seem to be taken from a curved TV, so this may be an older model more prone to this anomaly? |

Great example of why I'm a Diesel whore. Nobody does worn better. These new D-Strukt (style 069PT) are 🔥! The military green will slide right into my nearly all-black wardrobe nicely.

The 18v router was because I was an idiot and forgot my 1/4" collet for my corded one when at a friends house building something I needed to put a chamfer on, and Home Depot was really close
