I have an LG OLED (B7 model). While i use it for movies more often then games I am very happy with it. The one thing to realize is the difference between image retention and burn in. My watered down understating is this. Retention is when static images will hold for a moment when switching to another image that does not have that static image. Think TV channel logo showing then switching to commercial. This is slightly present on my TV when it happens it is brief and I have to be trying to look for it to notice it. Burn-in is a permanent alteration of the color/image on the TV. While this can happen with OLEDs it does take some time/conditions. Here is a good long term test that has been done showing results in different scenarios. https://www.rtings.com/tv/learn/real-life-oled-burn-in-test

Congrats on the new home. Lots of great info already shared here. Going to add a few more things as well.

If you are going up in living space (number of rooms, sq. footage, etc) wait a bit before buying furniture simply to fill the larger area. Wait until you have an understanding of what you need. Maybe you want more shelf space maybe it is more seating etc. When I first got a house I ended up buying a bunch of furniture simply to fill the space right away then ended up replacing a lot of it quickly because it was not exactly what we needed or wanted the new space for.

On the topic of tools, My approach has always been this. When I need a particular tool for a job I always say to myself is there another project I have planned that I will use this tool for. If the answer is no grab a serviceable cheapo one or look at possible rental. If the answer is yes do some research and spend a bit more or step up a model then your original idea. It is amazing how much a easier a quality tool can make a project.

If you don't own a pickup truck, find a friend who does :)

As stated previously, Get to know your neighbors and neighborhood
