Yeah, what kind of useless product is this?

Even a CRT takes many hours to get burn-in images.

Hard to tell from their English, but I wonder if they mean that a picture
would show up as an after-image if you change to an all-lit image?

Discrete LED brightness varies with temperature (brighter when colder), so
maybe the lit pixels get warmer than the unlit pixels. They would then
appear dimmer when the unlit pixels are turned on, at least until all pixels
warmed to the same temperature.

Plastic isn't as good a heat conductor as glass or inorganic LED material.

I heard OLED displays are not actually very low power, they are emitting
light energy rather than absorbing it as LCDs do.

They are lower power than an LCD + LED backlight.

I think this is just generic, and nothing specific to this OLED.
They are not saying that after 61s, there will be damage.
What they are trying to get across is that if you have the display
static for long periods, you'll notice nonuniformity eventually.

Rather extreme CYA statement, though.

I think it's possibly a case of the translator not fully understanding the
engineers.
