How many years can an OLED monitor survive?

[C1REX]

To your own estimation and a wild guess, how many years can an OLED monitor or LG TV used as a monitor last?
Considering mixed usage for gaming, browsing, and working without being more careful than with an LCD screen?

Is it around:

3 years?
5 years?
7 years?
10 years?

[_I_]

depends on how long its used for
unused, nearly forever
every day, under a year before it starts to get screen burn

how you handle the oled panel is nearly the same as an lcd
its usage makes no difference
static and bright images will burn faster than moving or dark images

OLED = 2~5 years to trash it

QLED = 10~15 years

stay far away from OLED .. and use something more reliable ..

qled and buzzword led are still led backlit lcd panels
they can last a long long time, if the backlight goes out, its not too difficult to get new strips and replace them to get it working again

10 - 12 years if you run the thing 24 hours per day, 7 days per week

The real issue with Organic LED is the time degradation not the usage.

From my understanding the latest generation of OLED monitors are quite decent.

I myself got one recently, put 600 hours on it so far with no burn-in issues yet.

If you are worried, don't buy one.

It looks nice but the burn in is still a real issue kinda making it a risky purchase if you only buy a tv every 7 years or so.

I got a new NEO QLED (yes i know it's technically LCD but way more enhanced) TV with 4K 144 Hz HDR compliant screen and i love how bright it is, i have my PC connected to it and honestly even though OLED has better darks, it's still not worth it in my opinion.

QLED is just Samsung marketing bologna. QLED TVs are LCD panels with LED edge lighting and a "quantum dot" filter that makes for higher dynamic range than a normal LCD panel.

As Wulff Den demonstrated, OLED burn in shouldn't be a problem for just about anybody with these handhelds. He's testing a Switch, but the panel seems to come from the same provider with the same subpixel layout. It's also a rather extreme test, leaving the same image on screen at maximum brightness, 24 hours a day. He plans to stress test a Steam Deck OLED in a similar way.

I found LG rated their OLED TVs for 30,000 hours back in 2019. If we go by this, even if you play your Deck OLED for 8 hours a day, every single day, that's still over 10 years of use.
