Ah, you should update wikipedia then: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OLED#Lifespan

> In 2016, LG Electronics reported an expected lifetime of 100,000 hours

23 years for an older generation OLED seems fine to me, I don't understand the problem here?

The US Department of Energy report from the same year reports far lower numbers, which I'd be more inclined to trust since they are impartial / not trying to market a product.

True, but those numbers are from 2016, 10 years ago. For a more apples to apples comparison see [1] [2] [3].

In my case, 3205 hours of use:

- 428 pixel cleans

- 1/3 brightness (my room is pretty dim and I often code during the night)

- static control on

- pixel shift on

- apl low

- sub-logo dim on

- corner dim on.

During the day I am not able to see any burn in. During the night it's unnoticeable unless you're looking for it. And it's only visible on gray backgrounds, unnoticeable during normal use. My phone (Nothing Phone 2) fails to capture it no matter how hard I try (even during the night).

The only issue I had was at 2417 hours and it was vertical white stripes like this: [4] but they were completely gone after a manual pixel clean. No issues since. I am never going back, worth every penny I spent.

That doesn’t sound very reassuring. 3205 hours, or a little over a year at 8 hours a day. Be generous and call it two years of use. You’re babying it with low brightness, dynamic dimming, etc. etc. and the fact that there’s anything, even if you have to “look for it”, is not a good sign.
