Watching Football on TV (LED/OLED)

Honestly think burn-in is a thing of the past. Only worry would be if you maybe watch a lot of news or other programs with a static banner - for literally hours a day, every day - for years.
8k is a gimmick because there is no 8k content out. I would honestly not spend extra money on 8k anything (maybe in 10 years from now though)

As much as I love OLED, I would say first evaluate your room. If there is a lot of bright, natural light, windows etc, get the samsung Qled I mentioned above ^ which is their top 4k model
Samsung has a discount program if you meet the requirements https://www.samsung.com/us/shop/discount-program/
Thanks for the info on the discount. I would qualify, but it doesn't cover the QN90A.

Yeah, the burn-in isn't really as big a factor as the natural light in my living room with reflections and the overall brightness of the TV. I know the picture is better overall on the OLED, but I think the QN90A is close enough to make me happy. Right now I'm just waiting on the bigger sale again from Bestbuy.
