Resurrection time:
Still looking but:
1) Being slightly deaf, I use subtitles - will that cause a problem with burn in on a OLED?
2) QLED - just smoke and mirrors and a posh LED ?
3) Anyone here had any issues with OLED?
Toss up between a LG CX and a Samsung OLED90 - very similar pricing. But I keep on thinking I should just buy this instead

Looks like the first two are roughly twice the price of the latter. It's really a question of which have the best HD pictures, and if the 4K ones are better then how much better. And if you are interested in smart TV, what are the differences.
Our local Richer Sounds in Southampton has always given me good advice so I suggest calling perhaps 3 different suppliers, ask their advice, then compare it. Probably the best you're going to be able to do for at least the next two months.

The thing I've found that really disrupts the picture quality when I'm watching telly is when Mrs. Gremlin goes out the room and leaves the front room door wide open and blocking out 1/3 of the screen. I get up, close it, sit back down.
2 minutes later she comes back in, leaving the door wide open again.

My choice would be LG, I have had an LG 4k TV for 2 years now and the Smart TV UI is very good.

Sony OLED televisions use LG displays. I'd look for reviews of the two models you're looking at which discuss HD performance and UI (smart TV) performance.
I think that in this case it comes down to which TV has the best software and the best warranty deals.
