They also has the least grayscale, the lowest brightness, the most burn-in, and the shortest lifespan. They also lack a noise algorithm, so I hope you enjoy artifacting.

In my case burn-in will not be an issue since the TV will be used more for video than for Video Gaming and it will almost never have a static image on it. The grayscale and brightness levels virutally go hand-in-hand and when watching dark scenes in movies OLED still looks much better so it is a comprimise I would be willing to take. From what I have seen I have not seen any noticable artifacting, at least no more than with other TV's.

I cannot speak for the lifespan of the TV but if it will last the 5-7+ years that a TV is good for nowadays, than it is good enough. 

I still stand by my point that from a pure Picture Quality standpoint, in both film and gaming, the LG OLED is the best TV out there.

Dark scenes are actually when OLEDs fall short. The sudden dip into perfect black loses a lot of detail in said darkness; detail an LED would retain. 

 

And its blues will get worse and worse until they die off completely. That starts at 3 years.

From everything I've read, OLED burn in is no worse than plasma. I have a 2007 58" Panasonic 720P plasma that was abused in a conference room for years displaying static images before I took it home. It had burn-in that I worked hard to remove, and now it has image retention issues when my desktop is showing that taskbar, but it goes away nearly instantly once I watch something. OLED cannot be that bad. I think you are blowing it up out of proportion a bit.

And with lifespan it is a non-issue: http://www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1465304750

Sure maybe the first gen LG OLED had some issues, but they have quickly improved upon that.

OLED is by far the best thing we have right now. Stunning displays to behold in person.

Yes it will last that long before the diode goes out. But the blues will be done at 3 years.

 

Not one of my OLED displays managed to go without burn-in. Even my 2016's have it. It's ridiculous. 

 

And like I've said before; OLED is a dead end. There's no way to make those blues last significantly longer, so R&D into solving the other problems will dip, and LG will just be content selling imperfect OLEDs every year to people who think Rtings.com is a perfect example of what TVs to buy; they've admitted themselves that they don't have a way to test artifact reduction vs noise reduction, nor do their reviews reflect reliability; only performance at optimum levels.
