Alibaba $30 AMOLED screen replacement and shipping cost is $500.
It only clears image retention not burn ins which are permanent. I too have an OLED.
Have you seen it? I have... mine is noticeable and I’m bringing it into Apple. Also google pixel went through a similar issue recently and made news.
LCD's are great in most areas but they just don't have anywhere near the contrast of an OLED. I like my blacks to be black, not grey. Especially when watching any kind of dark content or a movie. I don't understand how people get so worked up over a slight colour shift but put up with the terrible blacks on LCD panels.
Your are making my point. I don't understand how people put up with the poor black levels on LCD panels. Yet they go crazy when they see a slight off axis colour shift. If you are trying to tell me the black levels on LCDs are great then I beg to differ.
I haven't looked at an X yet in person, but as a point of comparison for you, my Note 8 does not have any color shift until you tilt it to a very sharp angle. I also haven't heard any other Note 8 owners complaining of it. The Pixel 2 I have heard complaints.
Thats fine, then you should buy a phone with a LCD display then
However there are alot of people including Apple that believe Black levels are important, its what makes colours really pop.

Do you even know what contrast levels are? They are directly related to Black levels.....I suggest you do some research. The blacker your blacks are the more an adjacent colour will standout or "pop"

Apple this morning shared a new support document explaining how OLED displays work and that it is normal to see some screen burn-in over time and shifts in color when looking at the iPhone display from an off-angle.
According to Apple, when you look at an OLED display from a side angle, you may see shifts in color and hue, something that's a "characteristic of OLED" and "normal behavior."
Apple says that with extended long-term use, OLED displays can show "slight visual changes," which is also considered normal. The iPhone X has been engineered to be the "best in industry" at reducing burn-in effects, but Apple's support document suggests burn-in is still a problem that some users could potentially see over time.With Apple referring to burn-in as normal behavior, it's not clear how this issue will be treated should it occur in terms of the one-year iPhone X warranty or extended AppleCare+ coverage. Typically, issues that Apple considers normal are not covered.
Apple's wording suggests screen burn-in is going to be a rare occurrence, but Apple does suggest users avoid displaying static images at maximum brightness for long periods of time. If there's an app that keeps the display on when the iPhone X is not in active use, the brightness level should be temporarily reduced using Control Center.
Making sure the iPhone X's display is set to go to sleep after a short period of time will also help prevent any burn-in issues, as it generally happens when the same image is on the display for a long time. Apple recommends setting Auto Lock to "a shorter time."

Whatever you say Captain Kodak.
Publicly known by tech geeks maybe, but not by Joe Consumer, who is buying the iPhone X and has never seen an OLED screen before.
