Although screen burn is less of an issue in modern TVs than legacy sets, Samsung has announced that it will repair or exchange the displays in its 2016 SUHD TVs, if they suffer from the effect within 10 years of purchase. The company refers to the new warranty as ‘industry-changing.’ The warranty covers KS9800, KS9500, KS8500 and KS8000 TVs purchased from the 1st August 2016 to the 31st March 2017.
