Has OLED made the XDR obsolete?

Why spend 5K on IPS when you can have OLED for less? Wouldn't now be a finicky time to buy an XDR?

• There had been no announcement of a 6K OLED in a ~32" form factor.
• LED in the XDR will still get brighter than OLED, aka OLED can't get bright enough for content creation/mastering.
• Greater burn-in risk via OLED

Will the risk of burn in always be there for OLED or is this just an issue with technology over time mitigating that risk?

From the way you lay it out, it seems like LED is still the superior route for longevity and brightness....do you see this changing over the next 5 years?

I think the burn in risk of OLED is inherent with the technology. It's probably a non-issue for "most" content consumption, but content creation where you need static images for hours at a time, well that's going to be the issue.

I also think MicroLED will take the place of regular LED, instead of OLED.

My Apple Thunderbolt Display is 10 years old🧐... What is the expected life-span of OLED displays?

I already get my Dock "retained" into a lot of IPS LCDs that I've owned, I cannot imagine that OLED would be very good in this regard. If you shop for used Galaxy phones, a majority have burn-in of varying degrees. MiniLED/MicroLED (forget which one is which) will probably be the next step.

The names are stupidly similar
MiniLED are LED backlights on and LCD (similar to XDR)
MicroLED uses non-organic LEDs directly. One for each pixel. This has the potential to give crisp bright displays that don’t suffer from burn-in. It’s not clear when they can get the tech ready to be able to launch on laptops and displays. Probably a few years away, yet.
