OLED TV

Hi

I can't believe that you still recommend OLED panels without pointing out the fact that they fail in fewer than 7,000 hours. OK if you buy a new TV every 2 years, this may not be a problem, but most of us aren't that wealthy.

they fail in fewer than 7,000 hours.

Is that right Ron?
Where does that figure come from?
What sort of failure are you talking about, screen burn, total failure?

As posted elsewhere, this is not my experience, after almost two years of reasonably heavy usage.

As for the OP, please don't make multiple posts that say essentially the same thing.

In the earlier generations of OLEDs we had 3 that succumbed to screen burn in roughly that time too. I have yet to discover with the later generations if things are the same. Avoiding gaming and news channels would be a good start to avoid the screen burn though.

You could always buy a Samsung QLED though I find them of similar quality to OLED TVs especially in filmmaker picture mode.

You'll need to watch the TV for 10 hours everyday for 2 years to clock 7000 hours which is a lot.

What's the source of your statement? The newer generation panels are supposed to last longer than LCD TVs.
