I want to buy a bigger tv but I'm terrified of the current market

Like those LGs that connect to public wifi to spy on you even if you never connected it to anything. I'm gonna have to crack open the case and physically remove/disconnect the wifi antenna on the next tv i buy

This exactly.
When it breaks I'll get one of those commercial/institutional displays. if they can operate for ten years hanging over a deep frier in the McDonald's it will suit my needs fine.

yeah, the issue was that different colored oleds would degrade at different rates, so you'd have color shifting. lg's current design is all white oled subpixels with a colored filter over them. (lg is the only company making oled tv panels)

lol well that's better then having the whole thing go green or whatever, but people who run their sets with the brightness at 100% are going to be upset after a few years unless they're figured out the degradation curve and start driving it harder as the service hours go up, which is only going to accelerate the degradation

I hope its like SSD wear rate where there isn't a realistic use pattern to cause problems but something tells me this first gen will be broken poo poo in 5 years
