24 hours agoThat’s… not really a logical conclusion from the article, or from anyone’s experience with either technology.
Anecdotally, back in 2012 I bought a secondhand LCD TV made in 2009. That was used as my primary work, gaming, and media display for 4 years before being relegated to a bedroom TV.
I moved that TV to my shop in 2019, it’s been playing a rotation of videos since then - coming up on 7 consecutive years.
There’s no ghosting or visible degradation on that TV, you’re commenting on an article describing degradation on a display used 4 hours a day for 2 years.
My shop also runs a bunch of other older LCD monitors - at least 5 of them are 12 or more years old and in active use every day.
I get inquiries for TV repair, though I don’t take them in because they take up too much space.
Just like monitor repair, the inquiries usually boil down to a cracked panel or a power on issue. Rest would be backlight, followed by miscellaneous “weird stuff” as the edge cases.
I can’t actually remember the last time I even saw a stuck or dead pixel, laptops with LCD panels make up the overwhelming majority of devices that I service.
Can’t say my experience aligns with your claims, and OLED displays have not been in widespread use long enough to be able to make a realistic comparison of longevity.
