DO make sure you keep it well ventilated. DO adjust the brightness levels. Remember, once the picture begins to dim the picture quality is affected until it eventually becomes unwatchable.
Hard to say. Plasmas are often the only technology that even lists lifespan, and this is almost always a claimed , hours. However, blue LED longevity was always a major factor holding back the technology as in blue dimmed faster than red and green.
What do these numbers mean? Well if we go with these numbers all we have, at the moment , and you watch 5 hours of TV every day, a plasma will reach half brightness in around 54 years. Even the lower rating on LCDs would mean 16 years before half brightness. If you watch more TV than that, well, the math is pretty easy.
Even running 24 hours a day, you're still looking at more than 10 years with a plasma till half-brightness. To be fair, each technology ages differently, and not entirely equally. There are multiple CCFLs in LCDs that use them, and while they're likely to age in a similar fashion, it's possible they won't, leading to dim areas of the screen horizontally.
But again, we're talking many, many years of use before this is even a possibility. In extreme cases, the LCD layer itself can age, but it's largely the backlight that's the issue. Technically, you can replace the backlight of an LCD, but I dare anyone to prove that this is remotely cost effective.
You're better off just buying a new TV. This can be difficult sometimes and it may help to turn the lights off to see if there is any light coming through. Plasma's half life ranges between 30, to 50, hours, while LCD offers around 60, hours. In real terms, if you watch the TV for an average of hours a day, then a screen with a half life of 30, hours will last you over 16 years -- by which time we'll probably all be watching holograms!
Unfortunately, old televisions sets can't be left by the curb with your normal trash for pickup. Old TVs contain harmful chemicals and parts that need to be safely dealt with by professionals. Instead of throwing your TV in the trash, you can recycle it at a recycling center or participating electronics store. If you're looking at a 4K ultra-high-definition television, the formula changes a bit.
Because of the increased resolution, the recommended ideal viewing distance is between one and 1. So, if you bought a inch TV , it should be placed between 50 to 75 inches away.
What are the best TV brands? Samsung: Incredibly popular still, with beautiful high-quality TVs. Sony: Name recognition and phenomenal picture quality. Vizio: Still makes some of the best TVs for the money. The average lifespan of an LED at maximum or close-to-maximum brightness is 40, to 60, hours , or 4. For sake of ease, let's say it's 5 to 7 years , with the understanding that you aren't watching TV for 24 hours a day I hope. TVs use a lot less energy nowadays, but they also have a much shorter lifespan.
We've all heard stories of the boxy Zenith CRT in grandma's basement that's still capable of producing a grainy picture after 20 years. Or an OLED? I've done my homework and a lot of hands-on testing , and here's what you need to know. This TV has a lot of moving parts from a component standpoint, but generally, the "LEDs" in its backlight are what are going to fail first. The average lifespan of an LED at maximum or close-to-maximum brightness is 40, to 60, hours, or 4.
For sake of ease, let's say it's 5 to 7 years, with the understanding that you aren't watching TV for 24 hours a day I hope. In fact, it's around 13 years at eight hours a day, which isn't anything to sneeze at. While these are all averages, they can be applied to any TV that uses an LED backlight which is almost all of them.
Is that long enough? It depends on the cost of the TV and how avidly you want to keep up with technology.
