How long before LCD is obsolete in consumer devices? I've heard a few estimates, haven't looked into it though.

  When someone figures out an LED screen that doesn't somehow take more power than the backlight on an LCD, and makes it cheaper than dirt.

  Probably decades, considering the difficulty of making large OLED displays. This article buys into the marketing propaganda of calling LED backlit LCDs just "LEDs", but the only real non-organic LED displays are the big outdoor ones. "LED" displays in the deceptive marketing sense are still LCDs.

    Plus current OLED screens are the new plasma in that they are the expensive high end that wears out quicker. Lower voltages help the lifetime at least.

  Quite some time unless we develop a radically cheaper and more reliable way to develop OLED screens at scale.
