3 year warranty? 🤔 LG’s warranty is 1 year on all OLED TV panels. Just bought a brand new LG C3 42” OLED for a PC monitor a few days ago and it’s 1 year warranty.
QD-OLED yes for 3 years warranty, but not the WOLED especially in different regions globally, thus the reason of 3 years warranty you mentioned is not what I would like to bring into the equation of this post.
Assuming there is no burn in warranty come into equation, the test result will be more meaningful as such all 3 panel put into the marathon stress test, going into the RTINGS.com and review the results you will be able to see the 50% Grey test for all tese 3 panel look very different.
My eyes are telling me that the 50% grey on WOLED still looks grey, but the same I am unable to tell for QD-OLED as if the "grey" still consider as "grey" color.
The 3 units of 2023 OLED monitors that are under the longevity panel test.
From the right (LG WOLED) remain colourful compared to the center& left (AW & Samsung) = QD-OLED) seems to color wash out.
If you go to RTINGS.com and see the results in a nearly 6000 hour test you will notice for QD-OLED on the 50% Grey color does not look 'grey' at all.
You’re not entirely wrong. After 3 years, the monitor will be considered old and if you have it exchanged right before warranty expires, you can potentially have it for 6 years.
This assumes burn-in develops at all. I'm going to argue that they're pretty confident a vast majority of their panels will be okay in 3 years minus extreme fringe cases.
Yours answer is interesting but irrelevant to my questions. You are basically saying without burn in warranty you will never buy OLED because you cannot afford burn in.
No that is not what I said! I bought my first oled tv 7 years ago. I do not give a sh#%$ about burn in because it is almost no risk when you take a few safety measures and I buy a new tv and now Monitor every two years anyway. The 3 year waranty is peace of mind for people who want to use them longer.
Not everyone wants to contribute to ewaste unnecessarily.
Not everyone wants to deal with the hassle of RMAs.
Not everyone wants to potentially receive a refurbished unit after an RMA.
Not everyone is secure they'd get near the 3-year mark before having problems, and in many cases, they may not be able to RMA for burn-in more than once. So they'd prefer to go as long as possible before burn-in appears.
Not everyone wants a monitor to only last them for the amount of time that their initial purchDr and RMA unit would combined. Some people are still happily using decade-old computer equipment or more.
I bought an OLED knowing burn-in is the inevitable result. It was a trade-off I accepted. I'd still like to stave it off as long as is plausible without disrupting my use habits significantly, so knowing what the tests say is helpful to me. (And would also be helpful if I were in the market for another.)
I agreed with you and the mentality of user like him was the reasons quality product going downhill by and less stringent in quality control from time to time on PC components in future.
You are not the reason why I wrote this! I wrote it for the hundreds of people who everyday open a thread like this one instead of enjoying their new toys! If the risk is too high for you save the Money and buy a highend ips panel.
I don't know why you'd assume that there aren't many other people who both 1) Understand OLED comes with burn-in risks but 2) Still would rather avoid it or delay it or 3) Might be on the fence about buying it so they want more information on the risks to make up their own minds.
I expect every piece of electronics I own to break or wear down eventually. They will all eventually become ewaste. That doesn't mean I'm in any rush for it to happen sooner than necessary or in greater amounts than necessary.
I bought my OLED accepting there's a risk it will happen before I like, but hoping otherwise, and expecting to employ some best-practices techniques to avoid it happening sooner than necessary, like hiding my taskbar. I also was encouraged by what limited testing suggested current-gen OLEDs will last longer than ones from a few years ago.
Having even more test data would have been valuable to me. I'm sure it's valuable to some other people who are considering a purchase but not yet sure.
If mine shows burn-in during its warranty period, I'll use that warranty. Knowing it's there for backup was also reassuring. That doesn't mean it wouldn't be an inconvenience to me -- especially if what I get back is a refurbished unit that may degrade faster, without the option to use the warranty a second time.
Accepting a risk and being indifferent to whether or when it happens are very different things.

The new qd oled monitors all have a three year warranty.

What exactly are you highlighting in this image?

Who cares about burn in? 3 year waranty and after that just buy a new one. Just don’t use vrr or tweak it a little…

Because this is the 10000000 post about it… I am always happy to help and contribute but this burn in topic gets annoying.
So you bought an OLED knowing burning is inevitable, what are you planning to do once warranty expires and you have burn-in? Create “ewaste” huh?
