> Fairly cheap modern LCDs seem to have superior image quality with sharper pixels as well.

I personally don't like the "sharpness", I like the image to be more "fluid", with the colours more easily "blending in" into one another (don't know what's the exact technical term for that).

A few days ago I watched a movie at one of my friends' place, she has a fairly recent LCD screen. I couldn't shake off the feeling of "being in the same room" with the actors, there was almost no "cinematography" involved anymore. I didn't like that, made it quite difficult for me to raise that fourth wall. I know of the HDR on-off setting thingie, but I don't think it was only because of that.

I agree with the burning in, only that in my case is not that severe, for what it's worth. There's some of it in the upper-left corner, from when I used to leave the TV open almost non-stop to a shitty music channel, that music channel's logo has left its mark in there. It doesn't "show up" all the time, only when the screen up there is all "white"/light up, and only at times, not always. Either way, manageable.

that was most likely motion smoothing. for reasons unknown to anyone but TV OEMs it's enabled by default.
