OLED TVs Show Superior Longevity Over LCDs in 3-Year Test

A comprehensive three-year longevity test by Rtings.com reveals that OLED TVs are more reliable and durable than LCD TVs. While burn-in occurred under extreme conditions, overall failure rates for OLEDs were significantly lower than for many LCD models, particularly edge-lit ones.

• Rtings.com's 3-year test involved 102 TVs running for 18,000 hours.
• 20 TVs completely failed, and 24 suffered partial damage during the test.
• OLED TVs showed the lowest failure rates among all display types.
• Edge-lit LCD TVs were most prone to failure, often due to backlight issues.
• OLED burn-in was observed in torture tests but not an issue in normal use.
• Most TVs are projected to last over 10,000 hours, equivalent to 10 years of average use.
