oled has burn in
LCD has uniformity issues. Every technology has downsides. Image permanece is not an issue in modern OLED screens, especially not in those sold at the price points pulse tech will be available at.
This is just another episode of capital shitting on the cobsumer and coming up with some marketing BS to pass on as innovation. Like Gsync, the VESA consortium had been working on variable display for years, NV releases a proprietary first try and becomes the "precedent" creator. Much like Musk being a Tesla founder...
burn in however, is a dealbreaker.
plenty of uniformity and color issues after it has been used for a few of years.
It really depends on how long you want to keep the monitor and how it's used. (Don't click the link before enabling ublock, please!)
There's also LCD degradation and in some cases it can be far more bothersome than burn-in.
i usually keep my monitors until it breaks beyond quick repair, i used my last one for like 15 years.
Ye, I guess OLED is less than ideal for you with those requirements. On the flipside, so is this pulse tech if your monitor is 15y old, it's an extra proprietary HW failure point for no benefit to 99,99% of the population and increases the price needlessly.
