>Furthermore, LCD screens have a finite lifespan, typically around 30,000 to 60,000 hours, after which the quality of the display can start to degrade. In contrast, OLED screens can potentially last up to 100,000 hours
- EugeneOZ 2y ago~45000 / 7 hours per day = 17 years. 17 years ago was 2007 - I can’t remember every TV our family had since 2007, but it was more than one or two, for sure.
- iamthepieman 2y agoMaybe I don't use tvs the way most people do. But the most pessimistic lifetime estimates for my use case on a 30,000 hour panel is 41 years. I don't really see a television as something to pass on to my heirs so that seems like a solved problem for non-commercial use. I've had televisions fail but it has always been a connector or capacitor that I could replace with a sautering iron and about 46 minutes of disassembly/re-assembly
- Mistletoe 2y agoA lot of us watch more tv than two hours a day. I have over 1000 hours in the game Elden Ring alone! :) I also consider life estimates as very fluid. My gf’s Hisense 75 inch can’t be more than a few years old and it has already gone to pot with weird circles visible on any scene with a white or light background. 8 hours a day for a few years is only ~6,000 hours, far less than 30k.
