We’re running 100 TV models for an average of 18 hours a day to simulate 10 years of usage in just two years. We’re testing the reliability of TVs by running them to the limit.
At this point, we’re four months into our 2-year test, clocking in about a year’s worth of usage. In this video, we’ll go over the results we’ve gotten so far, including the burn-in on our QD-OLEDs, differences between LG and Sony OLEDs, and failures on four TVs, including some high-end models.

01:12 Why CNN?
01:45 QD-OLED vs WOLED
08:09 Sony vs LG
09:35 Other TV failures

Goal:
- How long do modern TVs last?
- What are the main reasons for a modern TV to fail? (we will be doing a teardown of each failed TV to determine this)
- How do modern OLEDs like the CX, C1, C2, S95B and A95K compare in terms of burn-in?
Non-goal:
- Predict lifetime of any individual TV

@barryschwarz Год назад

Normal use you shouldn't have a problem. Though this test is trying to simulate real-world conditions, it's still compressing the time usage into a smaller window to get results sooner. And DON'T run the pixel refresher unless you see a real problem. The refresher ages all the pixels at once, though it does a good job at making the screen uniform.

Just pointing out Burn-in has always been with screens, I've been in the Television industry for over 40 years, even the old CRT TV's suffered from it, so it's nothing new. What has made the problem worse is the TV stations etc. insisting on putting high brightness branding/logos on top of their video streams (this never happened in the old days).

@barryschwarz Год назад

It IS a huge topic of concern for many people online, and it IS way overstated. It's a simple choice - if you're going to have a news or sport logo, or the same HUD on all the time for hours without rest, then maybe OLED isn't for you. Plenty of good alternatives. Otherwise, the picture quality just cannot be beat.

I've been using my Lg C1 55 inch as a 24/7 pc monitor for work since the start of 2022 and its been rock solid in terms of burn in. I was initially quiet worried about that but I've been basically abusing the hell out of it , oftentimes leaving bright white static images on it all night. There's no major image retention and once it does its cleaning process , everything is like new again. I was bummed that I just missed out on the QD-Oleds and better LG panels but still I am super happy with the C1, got it for a decent price and I don't see any reason to update anytime soon specially if the QD-Oleds have burn in issues.

No burnin signs on the panel, the fans were audible at night but not disturbing and the text looked good for me, no issues there. Decided to go for the AW3423DWF model since the GSYNC module has virtually no use to me and the fact that you can update the firmware is crucial IMO, just when i was about to empty my wallet you decided to add it to the test :)) I will be patiently waiting now.

Washers, dryers, refrigerators, soundbars, televisions, phones, etc. The tech is impressive on paper, but the quality control issues and cutting corners below the surface while charging outrageous amounts of money isn't worth it. Bought an s95B this past fall to replace an LG and with all of the issues I've had so far (lagging Tizen OS, remote control with a mind of its own, dishonest advertising about brightness and picture--they keep releasing firmware that nerfs performance to save from burn-in---prob why these pieces of trash are heavily discounted---and other glaring issues), I should've gone with another LG instead. When this thing bites the dust, consider me LG’s prodigal son. Samsung needs to stop cutting corners and start being honest with it's customer base. And please don't get me started on their abysmal customer service. Edited to add the s95b nerfing firmware updates issue and their dishonest advertising.

Love this durability test! I am in the evaluation phase to possibly replace a perfectly operating 2007 vintage Pioneer Elite 50” plasma. I’ve read the longevity and reliability of many modern TV’s are suspect and don’t last very long. Obviously I keep items for a long time, so tests like this are valuable. Love rtings!

@ReinKayomi Год назад

How much is that plasma TV when you first bought it?

@joker927 Год назад

I still use my 2013 Samsung 60" f8500 plasma in my extra room. It's funny how it "just works" and the smart features can easily be avoided. In my other rooms I have gone through 6 TVs since 2013. What I have learned is that poor software quality limits longevity. Over time a bug will appear and or a software update will introduce a new bug. This has happened with multiple manufacturers.

@richarde1355 Год назад

@@ReinKayomi $3500. The Elite was a model line only available is high end stereo stores, and not Best Buy, Costco, etc. It has mounted vertically on each side detachable 20W powered speakers, so it has great sound. It’s only a 1080p so the screen is adequate relative to today’s standard, the side viewing is great, and there are no glitches with its operation. I run my streaming through a Roku unit. The Elite series is no longer offered. A buddy of mine who worked for Pioneer 10 years ago told me the factory was shut down because the TV was too expensive to make given others and the profit margins. He’s advised me to keep it. Logically it’s hard for me to move in from something that is working fine and doing it’s job, but when I see those bright TV’s at Costco, it’s hard not to get drawn in. Then aI remind myself I’ll need to get a soundbar, have to to deal with the software glitches, and so on. I like simple and reliable, so I’m sticking with the Pioneer…for now.

@ReinKayomi I had an even earlier pioneer 43" plasma, maybe around 2005 and that cost me $5000 Australian dollars, roughly £3000 as I'm English and always convert back to that. I don't know your currency, but you get the idea. Plasma was cutting edge back then and pioneer were the rolls Royce of plasma back then. Terrible burn in from gaming though, I had images burnt in all over it.

If you are using a pc on an Oled type display, I recommend switching to a dark mode for any application. Also, enabling a screen saver helps when you are away from your pc. I never had a problem with screen burn in on any of my Oled displays. Although, any display in theory could get burn in over time depending on usage.

@michaelbeckerman7532 Год назад

That's a great test and I'm very glad to see that you guys are doing this as this is something that absolutely needed to be done. However, one thing that it does actually illustrate (that wasn't really noted in the video) is that it shows just exactly how hard it really is (and how much time it takes with the SAME image on the screen) before any of the new modern OLEDs and QD-OLEDs will exhibit any evidence of burn in at all. The good news here is that most people actually DO change channels in their homes multiple times a day and usually only watch the same channel for a few hours at a time before moving on to something else, switching to a streaming source, watching a Blu-ray or playing a video game. Variety is clearly your friend here! Keep in mind that the more frequently you change content and sources, the less likely you are to ever burn an image of any kind into your screen. In reality, most typical owners of these sets will never even come close to burning an image into their screens in their lifetime. Something to keep in mind for any OLED or QD-OLED owner.

@Akyax Год назад

Thank you for running this extensive test (and for the more detailed explanation this time how and what you are running). That's not good news for QD-Oled which, at it's introduction, was hyped for being less prone to burn- in than WOled - too bad that this doesn't seem the case. I hope this year's second generation really is 2x more durable aka less prone to burn- in. Would be cool if you could enter a Samsuns S95C in the test as well to see if there is any improvements with this year's QD-Oleds.

It would be a major downgrade for you eyes. OLED monitors are not flicker-free. Yes, if you are going to replace it after 1 year, degradation is not a major issue, but if you are going to use over 2 years, it is not a good solution.

I surf a lot and read comics with black and white content in the middle of the screen. I also game a lot on it, but I don´t use it as a "office" monitor. The monitor is 4-12 hours on per day. I use pixelshift and autodimming with OLED-light set on 80. There is no burn in or any kind of change to be seen on both TVs.

As a side note regarding burn-in for OLED, I use a 4k LCD TV as a computer monitor, never used a screensaver and it did burn in severaly. I can always see the layout of certain windows that were always open in the same spot like my Steam friend list. I can see parts of my wallpaper as well. I also have a Panasonic Plasma TV that I use for movies and youtube but not really gaming and it never had burn-in after a decade. So I'm not to stressed about oled as long as I use a damn screen saver haha
