I have read that OLED tech has life-expectancy problems. Any comment?
With the great numbers put up by other TV technologies and given the very high relative cost of OLED, it will be crucial to decision making to have some idea how long this set will perform.
LG's technology does not have lifespan issues. When OLED was just coming on the market, blue phosphors used by Samsung's manufacturing process had lifespans of 20,000 to 30,000 hours. LG uses a WOLED technology with white oled and color filters. There are no blue phosphors. It's a non-issue now anyways because they have already commercialized longer lasting blues. The short lifespan was just a knock that the industry wants to perpetuate to keep OLED from taking over. Look at smartphones. OLED is taking over and now Apple will start using them in 2018. I have the LG 9300 and it's night and day the best TV anyone has ever seen. My wife wants them all over the house and complains when she has to watch our plasma TV's.
