Gee whiz, Dude. You are not making any sense. I have read up on them. Have you been reading what OLED owners (not just me) are saying in this thread? Apparently not.
I did my homework before I bought my first OLED over 7 years ago. A display that, like others have mentioned here, is still working great. Nothing I have read since suggests any potential downfalls with OLEDs have gotten worse in any of the newer generation of OLED displays. In fact, everything I have read talks about improvements, prevention and mitigations making the gorgeous OLED displays even more gorgeous.
You asked (my
bold underline added),
Do you know what finite means? Again, apparently not.
Finite:
- having definite or definable limits
- completely determinable in theory or in fact by counting, measurement, or thought
So I ask you again, how do you expect me or anyone else here to know exactly how long any OLED display will last? What would you like any of to say? Do you want us to give you date? The exact number of years, months and days?
Right. And the same "accelerated" tests on all types of displays. Besides the fact "accelerated longevity tests" do NOT represent real-world usage, did you note the failures they experienced in your video? Things like motherboards and power supplies were failing - and not just with OLED displays.
Also, they were displaying the same channel (CNN) for 10 to 12+ hours per day, every day, for months on end. Is that anything close to any "real world" scenario by any "normal" computer user or TV watcher?
And NO WHERE did I say that is not true. But (1) as
@P4-630 correctly noted, image retention is not the same thing as burn-in. Image retention is temporary and as your own video says, is easy to correct. (2) One might interpret your claim that "
if not well taken care of" is suggesting it takes a lot effort on the user. THAT IS NOT TRUE! Most if not all OLED TVs have a built in feature to handle that. On my LG, it runs automatically every few months or I can initiate the process via its internal menu. And (3), contrary to your claim, it takes no time at all. Well, 30 seconds and most of that time is me trying to find the TV's dedicated remote since most of the time I use my universal remote to control everything. On my LG, when the process is initiated, it starts next time the TV is turned "off". So next time I turn it back "on", its done. Piece of cake.
Yes, this is absolutely true. It is also "
only a matter of time" your (speaking to the crowd) IPS, VA, TN monitor will fail too. Same with your power supply, CPU, cell phone, car.
Odds are, you (again, the crowd) will decide to replace the device BEFORE IT FAILS just because you got the itch and wanted to upgrade to something more current.
Come on all you OLED bashers. Read what posters who own OLEDs in this thread have said about their own "real-world" experiences. Why would they buy OLEDs "again" if they were as bad as you want us to believe!
