Current gen OLEDs almost don't wear out (saying this as an OLED owner). To see the wear you need to have a completely black room and the wear is unnoticeable unless you're specifically looking for it. You don't need to spend 3k, 1k is enough.

Ah, you should update wikipedia then: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLED#Lifespan

  • > In 2016, LG Electronics reported an expected lifetime of 100,000 hours

    23 years for an older generation OLED seems fine to me, I don't understand the problem here?

    • The US Department of Energy report from the same year reports far lower numbers, which I'd be more inclined to trust since they are impartial / not trying to market a product.
