You should watch the video. "Minor" is an overstatement. It's completely invisible in normal use, and only barely visible if you put on a blank blue or grey background and squint really hard.
I dunno I’ve noticed blooming and other effects normally described as invisible or hard to see
Sometimes sure it’s either extremely rare or hardly noticeable but it’s still often a near constant enough annoyance
And what happens after 2 more years?
Are you using the same monitor? Blooming is not an affect of burn-in. If you want to know, watch the video. If you don't, don't. I don't care.
No not for this monitor that was just an example of something recent I’ve seen on other monitors where people say the effects were not noticeable but they were to me and especially if the panel was dark
Ive noticed slight oled burn in on other peoples devices but I think it’s mostly them going blind to it because it’s part of their default setup so they’re extra unlikely to notice
