"there is one caution to mention: OLED TVs carry the risk of burn-in"
Sounds like a deal killer!ÿ I watch a lot of 1.33 video
so I don't want 30% of the screen covered with black
pillar boxes when I do watch widescreen video, nor
ghost images in the pillar boxes when I then watch
1.33.
As for burned in logos from watching TV, that's worse!
What happened to the proposed class action suit against
on screen logos destroying consumer property for the last
30 years?ÿ I like the idea of executives and Industry
Experts having to "prove" in court that the logos are
harmless and are, anyways, the result of "consumer demand".

You realize that OLED is "true black", right?!
IOW, the pixels in the sidebars are literally not turned on with an
OLED. There is no risk of burn in for this!!

Burn in is less of an issue now, as the technology has matured.
That said, if you are going to watch cable channels that have tickers, banners and bugs 100% of the time (e.g. CNN, FNC, CNBC), then, yeah, I
would not get an OLED (and OLED would be wasted on programming like this anyway - OLEDs are for watching movies like "Dune" or the "John Wick" flicks).
I also have stopped doing CC'ing all the time on my OLED, and only
rarely use it now when I can't decipher a line of dialogue. Again, if leaving CC'ing on all the time is important to you, then I would
probably not get an OLED, but would try for a mini-LED TV instead.

I'd like one large TV to do it all: 4K disks, VHS, streaming, etc,
and not have separate TVs.

How about a large LED?ÿ Would that be good, no burn-in?
I don't even know what I have, maybe I already have it,
just not in 4K.

One TV will do all that ... you just need separate 'set-top' boxes
plugged in for the discs and the VHS player, plus possibly some adapter
plugs.ÿ :-)
I have 6 disc players and a VCR hooked up, with the
aid of an HDMI splitter and coax and RCA inputs on the
TV, but will a modern 4K TV only having HDMI inputs
allow me to hook this all up?
(Yes, I much prefer many players to only having one, to allow
quick switching between programs without losing my place. I
have the Haunted Harbor serial in my VCR at the moment, and I
want to be able to see the Firesign Theatre's The Case Of The
Missing Yolk. Sure, both programs appear on youtube, for the
moment, but at far below the quality of pre-recorded VHS.)
