No matter how you use it it will still burn in or rather wear out and all you can do is delay it.
Just on the phone with Dell right now, they will be replacing it
They said it will be refurbished but checked by Dell before it ships, so will be interesting to see if I get a later manufactured model with different FW that isn't on the Gsync firmware update tool yet etc.
Oh yes here is what my Photoshop canvas looks like:
You can see 3 defined areas.
I can see it already. Nexus will come back and say oh noes. He has burn in also

How long you had yours for? Because if I got the same burn that I got after 1yr but it took 3yr, I still wouldn't recommend an oled for 8hrs wfh using static images + 2hrs evening gaming.
My BX has quite a few dead pixels around the edges but it is not visible from the distance I’m viewing it from so not bothered.
I only mentioned that the last replacement was brand new but they can see on the screen anyway the history of the service tag etc.
Think they released 22/03/2022 with delays for most into April May. So around 2 yrs if bought on release day
Exposure turned right down and blacked out room to elevate if there was any so not representative of what the eyes see let alone in my normal env lighting conditions, sure I can see some imperfections but doesn't look like burn in to me:
Well yes that is true to some extent but tech in general is going to develop some fault at some point.
Rtings have done a test on this stuff before but as mentioned by themselves, Vincent at hdtvtests, badass, pcmonitors etc. this is not a great test for most people for normal usage, which is why it's called a torture test:
Longevity Burn-In Test: Updates And Results From 100 TVs
Our accelerated longevity test has been running for over a year now, and we've already encountered some very interesting results.
My LG 55e7 (bought in 2017) doesn't have any permanent burn in either, there is temporay retention even after a short time of say the plex homescreen but this goes quickly enough and is mostly only noticeable when a mostly grey screen comes on. There is definetly uneven wear though on it now but to be expected for a 2017 oled which is 7+ years old and used every day.
Some LCD shows issues which are arguably worse with time too.
As always, pick your poison, personally I'm happy to take the chance with burn in than that may or most likely won't be noticeable in normal usage 98% of the time based on my usage over say ips glow/grey blacks which would be noticeable 95+% of the time in normal conditions/usage.
Also I'm sure you can extend the warranty length with Dell too if you're still happy with it
