Currently, you can easily change settings on samsungs AMOLED screens to make them look natural. That's no longer a issue, this is why they are rated the best displays in the industry.

They have horrible burn in. Go look at the Samsung models at the att store. Every time I look they always have bad burn in. True they are on all the time but still. This iPad Pro screen is awesome.
Any screen that sits on maximum brightness would have burn in after several weeks.....place your iPad or iPhone on 100% brightness without the display ever cutting off...then see what happens.
Funny when I look at the non omled phones in the store I didn't notice this. Also if you do a little research it's far more common with omled.
I have had several amoled devices and from my experience, I have had no burn in...
Can you explain some of those key words you used? So, what is flashlighting, banding etc?
Most likely nothing will happen. Actual Burn-in on an LCD doesn't really happen. Ever. That type of screen tech just doesn't burn in. And if it does, I would have to say that's an isolated issue with that specific display.
Image Persistence might be what you're thinking of.

This is a rare occurrence and nothing like image retention you see quite often on plasma and oled displays.
Burn in is a real thing on OLED displays, at least on mobile displays (but I still have seen some burn in issues talked about on the LG OLED TV's).
Plasma is dead now, but the last few years of plasma made big strides in preventing actual burn-in.
OLED is a great technology, but it's still young and has issues. If anything I am happy Apple still uses LCD displays, but we all know this is going to fade away. Probably first with iPhones and then on to the iPads and MacBooks.
Unless you have been officially diagnosed as having Obsessive Compulsive Disorder then you do not have OCD. Being anal retentive is not the same thing as having OCD.
So I have been using my iPad Pro a lot lately, but just now got around to reading in iBooks... and noticed a pretty dark top left corner. Lots of people ITT seem to have great results, but do you think the dark corner is worth dealing with? Trying to get a swap?
Maybe I need to try a swap and see if I can't get a pure white. But it only "bothers" me once every week, so...
Ended up going to the Apple Store for a laptop sleeve, so made an appointment and... Perfection! This is the "Pro" screen you guys are talking about. No splotches or uneven backlighting. Perfection!
This is what I noticed to be common amongst most units.
The edge where the smart connector resides is slightly darker in uniformity than the other side. On some units, the backlighting is also uneven with spots and patches. The easiest way to find out is to read from your iPad in normal portrait view, then flip it upside down where the home button is at the top, then you may see what I'm talking about.

Some units are top left. Some units are mid left. Very few units are bottom left. Bottom line is the left side is slightly darker on all units, but only a trained eye can see. This is definitely not as bad as the book spine from the Air series.

Perfection, bought the 9.7 for the screen that adjusts to the ambient lighting, stunning photo's IN ANY LIGHT, something the 12.9 does not have. This is the BEST iPAD EVER!
