Price and reliability don’t scale.
They also said that every single OLED suffered from burn in. I would count that as a partial failure for every OLED TV they tested.
So expensive TVs last longer than cheap ones. That goodness this new information has come to light, thanks Tom’s hardware for this breaking analysis.
Finally, when it comes to price, you’ll be happy to know that quality control doesn’t scale with cost. Some of the best-performing models were budget options, while some of the most expensive TVs didn’t perform as well on the test.
Literally the opposite of what they said.
They said OLED had lowest failure rate, which is true, LCD has highest. LCD are cheap, OLED is expensive. They even said local dimming tech sits in the middle, which is true for price and returns. We get LCDs coming back all the time, OLEDs almost never.
So it’s about display technology and not the price. If you compare products of the same technology and the price you can see that it doesn’t correspond to better longevity.
