OlED Cluster for 2023 Yukon Denali like escalade?

[2022]

A salesman at a dealer near me told me the 2023 Yukon denali was going to have that same setup as the new escalade with the Oled cluster. I'm wondering if he is making it up or has anyone else heard this. I'm about to order a 2022 but will for the 2023 if they are upgrading.

I’d be very cautious with having an OLED screen in a car, assuming you’re planning on owning it for the long haul. For the most part when you’re driving your screen isn’t changing what it displays (outside the speedometer) so you’ll probably end up having burn-in issues within a few years, specifically in areas where you’ll see one constant / fixed image.

This was a common problem with the OLED TVs that people were experiencing. For example if you’re not aware - let’s say you had on CNN or Fox News (can’t say I’m bias now haha) on your OLED TV and never turned it off, where it shows their brand logo that’s pretty much always shown on one part of your TV, after so many hours of that being displayed there that image actually burns into the screen, so when you’d change the channel you’ll slightly see the logo.

If you’re driving hours upon hours at a time it wouldn’t shock me the least if after a few years that’ll happen.

I also read an interview with a GM engineer about this. They only expect the one in the Escalade to last about 10 years.

I sold Oled TVs for years. The TVs we had on display would run the same promotional video over and over. Before the next model year was released, all most all the OLED TVs had burn in.
I wouldn't sell them and I suggest you dont buy one with an OLED display.

I preface this by saying Newer OLEDs have had a lot of the ghosting minimized, I have a 2015 LG OLED 65EG9600 and a 2020 LG 65CX OLED and the tech is leaps and bounds better on the new set. I still don’t have any real ghosting on the 2015, my only complaint is the horrid near black/grays and heavy vignetting on the old set that isn’t present with the new. I play a bunch of FPS video games with a static HUD and have had no issues.
With that said, the auto oleds are going to be a ton more static than a news logo/stock ticker. I haven’t been in the new Escalade long enough to see if they have any mitigating technology like screen shifting where the stuff on the screen will move slightly every so often to control burn in.

I guess the one thing you don't have to really worry about with a car screen is that if something is static whenever your car is on and the screen is on, odds are if that image burns in, its not going to cause you any issues because it's not like anything else would be displayed there. If anything, when your car turns on and the screen loads where it usually starts off as all black except the car brand logo, you'll probably see whatever is burned in.

However, if you have burn-in on the main dashboard part where you can change the appearance, whether its to control apps, the radio or see the navigation...that is going to be a problem.

I would note that if you're placing an order for a 2022, you may have only a small chance of getting the order accepted before 2022 order cutoff in the end of April/beginning of May; so you may be getting the 2023, OLED or not. If you can buy one off the lot, then you certainly have a better shot at getting a 2022.

I already looked can't find the one my wife wants. All good not in rush either way. I'll place the order Monday and see what happens.

I’m honestly suspect that they will do this. Denali fully loaded today still $10-12k less than similarly equipped Cadillac. Screens about the only real incentive to move to Cadillac. If they bring the screens to Denali..who would buy the Caddy?

These screens are actually pretty cheap honestly. They go so much bigger thesdays to make it seem like they're really upgrading the cars, therefore you'll feel the need to trade yours in for a new model.

Don't let them fool you as a reason to shell out another $10 grand lol

I told my wife that I prefer the Denali exterior but the Escalade interior, so yeah, if they put that 38" screen in the Denali there'd be no point (for me, at least) to get an Escalade.

I did show her some of the options on the Escalade and when I noted that it has an optional drink fridge she insisted we shift to the Escalade - lol. We're not.

Just find yourself a Saudi Arabia spec Suburban - center console fridge standard on Premier trim, optional on the lower trims.

i don't anticipate that screen EVER coming to the GMC ... my guess is they want to keep that exclusive to the Escalade. When I look an Escalade as similarly equipped as possible the difference is still $20,000 or so minimum. Load up an Escalade and load up a Yukon Denali and it's closer to $25-30k difference.

And that’s before the $25,000 typical market adjustment on an Escalade

This was an Escalade that showed up at my local dealership (pretty rural area)

Yeah - i don't see how the difference can only be $10-12k either.

Not looking at XL or ESV but the small size with 4WD.....the Denali starts at $75,295 and the base trim Escalade (Luxury) is $80,840. Tack on the Reserve Package for the Denali and you're at $84,250. I really don't see what else you'd need to add other than accessories since that pretty much makes it fully loaded in my mind.

To get all of those Denali features like the magnetic ride control, adaptive air ride suspension, pano sunroof, etc. for your escalade you'll need to add the Premium Luxury Platinum package which takes you to $109,740. You still would need to add the trailering package for $600 taking you to over $110k.

So the difference is really around double of what you're saying....at ~$25k.

As far as the screen goes - I can see Yukon's and Tahoe's going to Tesla route.....which has been adopted by Ford with the 2022 Expedition and Toyota with the 2023 Toyota Sequoia.....you're gonna get a large 14-15+ inch screen right in the center console. They can't make it ultra luxurious like you said, because they don't want to eat into their Escalade market which is next level luxury.

This is disgusting man.

But people will pay so I guess they can get away with it....

That's nuts!!! Most of the dealers near me are selling at MSRP and that is what I got my 22 Denali for.

No, the nuts part is that people are willing to pay it.

The big GMC dealership near me also has a Caddy dealership next door. I asked my guy about markups for Yukons and he said they aren't doing it. I asked about Escalades and he remarked that if I really wanted one be prepared to pay $15k over MSRP. I was like, "Really? That much over?" And he goes, "Yeah, and you know what the crazy part is? We can't keep them on our lot even with the markup."

I paid over msrp for my Yukon, but no where near 25k that my Cadillac is doing. I was talking to the service department and they said the Escalades are lucky to last 1-2 days on the lot before they sell at that insane price. The one I took the picture of got there on a Thursday when I snapped a photo and was gone by the next Monday...honestly I would have gotten an Escalade in a heartbeat in my color/option combo if they sold at/near MSRP. I was calling almost every Cadillac and GMC dealer in a 500 mile or more radius that had incoming Yukons and Escalades. Of course, most of these dealers called back right after I took delivery of my Denali.
