I think they just made a mistake w\ the 2 1/2 years for 20,000 hours.

40 hours per week is 2056 hours per year. 2000x10 is 20,000... so should last a long time.

When I saw the 2 1/2 years I was WTF!? It would be insane if you had to drop $1500-2000+ every 2 1/2 years to buy a new tv.

I've had my first tv, a 50'' DLP i got for $500 on craigslist for over 2 years and it's still working great. It will be the video game tv when we get a new LCD for the living room.
 
What you don't watch TV 24 hours a day?

...why do I have to point out the obvious? OLED compounds degrade over time regardless of whether the TV is actually on. So yes, it is just under 2.5 years.
 
the 2 1/2 year estimate is accurate in the sense that they're marketing this display for commercial advertising. Hence, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year of non-stop usage (8760 hours right there). I have no idea whether or not that's up to snuff for a typical ad in Times Square, but it's cool to know the tech is moving along quickly :)
 
I am perfectly ok with 2 1/2 years. By then Ill be ready for a new one anyway. so the porn models will be nearly life size. Now make it 3d and ill be set. muhahaha

Nope. They degrade only when on.
 
Didn't 10" or somewhere along that size OLED screens cost several thousand dollars only a year ago?

I'm mainly interested into how many pixels they can cram into a 30" screen.
Pixels > Screen size.
 
I'm surprised to see no one crying about the zune HD using an OLED... seems to be perfectly fine so far >_>

Pixels

Go back and read the article again. They said the dot pitch was around 3 mm. The dot pitch is way too big for the average living room or bedroom. Even a standard definition crt is only around 1-2 mm dot pitch. For high definition viewing, something less than 1 mm dot pitch would be ideal.
