How We Designed Our BIGGEST TV & OLED Longevity Test Ever

[@BRIANSTECHTHERAPY]

How does this channel not get more love!

[@yolosdeathdave]

Because youtube is garbage

[@Marc.Google]

A review of this magnitude is a long time coming and sure to shake up the entire TV industry! 🙃 Thank you @RTINGS

[@misterstudentloan2615]

Finally someone doing this and putting these manufactures on the spot. The ppl have been ripped off by evil greedy marketing and corpo chaps for way too long.

[@Lolo_BANGGE]

TRUE, in capital letters...

[@davem68]

Wow - just wow. Amazing setup and effort. I've not seen anything on this scale before, the data gathered from this should will give great feedback for RTINGS & consumers.

[@Marc.Google]

Please continue this level of thoroughness for the entire length of testing 👌

[@blorpblorpblorp]

The guy who dealt with the temperature issues is named Pascal? Great nominative determinism!

[@vanquish421]

Great presentation, Abby. Keep up the good work!

[@jaredsmith6072]

Love how she said "degrees canadian" as opposed to celsius lol

[@RTINGScomRD]

😂 Just trying to stay true to our roots hahaha

[@ephons]

Europe supports 🫶

[@TheFalschspieler]

Just paused the video to see if anybody commented on this... 24° Canadian... Just wow 😂

[@alterbr33d]

Even though I've been looking at Rtings for a long time now, I just now realized they're based in Montreal, Canada.

Looking forward to seeing how this plays out. As someone who owns a Samsung QLED TV that I paid $1500.00 for and started failing a few months past it's warranty. I called Samsung customer support and they acted like they were going to do something to help. They had me send all the documents on the TV, receipts and fill out forms. They even had me take pictures of the screen and send those. After a few days they said they were going to take care of me, being a loyal Samsung customer and offer me the current top of the line QLED TV for a greatly reduced price and a Five warranty. Then he told me the price and I laughed. I could get it at a lower price at Best Buy or Crutchfield or even Sam's Club with what ever warranty those companies sold. The whole ordeal left me really changing my mind on Samsung Brand. I still need a new TV , and with all the new models coming out now just trying to decide on LG or Sony or do I give Samsung another shot. The thing that drives me crazy is the price of TV's now, like cell phones. It's getting ridiculous and if I am paying $1000.00, $2000.00 or $3000.00 an up on a TV it should last more than TWO YEARS.

[@yolosdeathdave]

Go mini

[@9cageyt]

my 2018 65q6fn still working like a new one. Maybe you are unlucky, but I can't tell. Many companies offer warranty extensions for cheap money.

[@danieldavis8607]

Got a 2016 Samsung LED 40" and she's still going and looks great! (for an LED...) Maybe they put more care into manufacturing back then?

[@Ahmad-Mounir44]

What? !!!!! If you're paying $1K, $2K or $3K on a TV, it should last more than TEN YEARS, not two.

[@PowerControl]

Can we just admire Pascals bicep for a second? 💪 Great channel, curios what you will find out!

[@Schnauzer71131]

Superb work, concise and objective. True tv science :)

[@FrederickJeong]

Impressive! Great test for Choosing TV. As you mentioned, max brightness could be as same as max power consumption. Then how do you check the max brightness before turnning on the test video? I would like the know the sequence of longevity burn-in test. And some TVs are changing the screen mode by itself when It turns on and off. Do you have any check step before turn on the test patterns??

[@RTINGScomRD]

Hello! We actually have detailed article that explains our test setup, the tests we use, the settings for the TVs, etc. We'd suggest checking that out! www.rtings.com/tv/tests/longevity-test As for the picture modes changing by themselves, we do verify our TVs to make sure the settings are accurate, so this is something we'd catch!

[@michaelwyckoff7593]

You guys did a great job

[@GmanSoul31]

You are amazing!

[@tubewatcher8330]

Standing Ovation! This will be so interesting as the months pass.

[@johnconner599]

This is great stuff. You guys are way above anybody else in testing and my guides. One thing regarding longevity though: if one certain TV would break down, it would still be just one case, and it could be just that 1 in 50.000 bad cases you guys bought. You would almost have to buy minimum 3 TV's of the same brand and type to see if the one you tested it's representing the average quality of that TV. But I do realize that's a bit of costly bridge too far.

[@floz9718]

Exactly my thinking. 3 TVs of one model might be a bit much but I would have liked to see at least two of each to ensure that the one unit in the test isn't just a lemon.

[@yolosdeathdave]

​@@floz9718 they already buy the same tv if the old one gets broken but i do agre if they have 2 they can do multiple tests but let em live a bit heheh Seriously rtings yall should do all the tests needed for review and the start longtivity test for all upcoming tvs if it gets damaged buy a new one do it again just to make sure yeap this tv is garbage just like the company who made it

[@quangtthn]

Can you guys add like few hours video of game play with fix ui (like CSGO) or just Windows with spreadsheet

[@RTINGScomRD]

It isn't something we have any current plans to do, but we'll pass that along to the team for additional consideration!

[@floz9718]

Interesting video and test. However, the most important thing wasn't mentioned in this video nor in the written article: What content is playing on the TVs?

[@RTINGScomRD]

That's a good point, thanks for bringing it up. We'll make sure to address this moving forward. We use CNN for the content though!

[@tamasgiczi]

Thanks for the test :) I really like these kind of tests! Maybe my fault, but i didn't find information about what content is being used for the test. The IR on the sonys are from CNN?

[@RTINGScomRD]

We use CNN for the content displayed on our TV for this test!

[@martin_dudeck]

i'm stunned! and little worried that I have to wait almost 1 year to find out which oled will last in normal cycle about 5 years :)

[@Evaquiel]

Abby is A-DOR-ABLE.

[@NANOTECHYT]

What about the burn in test? When can we expect an update about it?

[@RTINGScomRD]

We aren’t doing any new burn-in tests at the moment. We expect our longevity test to be more useful to users and cover some of the same topics!

[@hugoschneider5007]

@@RTINGScomRD Sorry If I get it wrong, but we will be able to see more realistic results with this test than the previous one, right?

[@bingusdingus-c5h]

cool video thanks for sharing

[@loki76]

I am a big outlier in how often I use my TV. Whenever I am not working or doing something else. I can be on my TV/PC (use my TV as PC monitor) for 10-12 hours a day easily. I watch movies, shows, do PC stuff and game. So everything is connected to the TV. So like I said if I am not working and so on. My Current TV likely have 20,000+ hours. Still ticking. Sony 900E. But it's time for a new one I need more modern features. A95L if the OLED doesn't dim during gaming (typical Sony) hopefully they fixed it. Or Samsung QN95C. I won't bother with ASBL king called S95C or B for that matter. Already tried it.

[@metamorfoza7656]

Give us update for this month and burn in on oleds

[@RTINGScomRD]

We're doing our best to publish an update ASAP, so stay tuned 👀

[@Lolo_BANGGE]

have you also considered testing tv brands bought and will be used in the tropical climates like the ASEAN countries? by the way, I subscribed and forwarded your KZbin channel to a TV nutz pal -mabuhay from the philippines

[@RTINGScomRD]

At the moment, we only buy and test products available for purchase in the US but this could change as we grow!

[@Ahmad-Mounir44]

I recently knew about RTINGS when I decided last week to get a new display monitor this coming black Friday. I spent the past week in researching about this burn in issue in OLED displays because I really wanna buy one but I don't fully trust OLEDs at the moment. Following RTINGS will bring me more up to date tests. Guys, you're kings ! Thanks :)

[@richmahogany1]

I love you guys but why make this new channel when you barely upload to the other one. Just put this on the regular one so people will actually see it.

[@yolosdeathdave]

I agree they arent uploading frequently they busy but still anyways this is a research and development channel of rtings that main one is for reviews this one if for this logetivuty test and hopefully 12hour gaming tv movie burnin test soon and other researchs and * development * they gonna make in future

[@desktopedge4544]

someone can join your team remotely? huge fan of rtings :}

[@RTINGScomRD]

In some situations, yes. But some of our roles also can’t be worked remotely. Feel free to check out our careers page though! www.laboratoirertings.com/carrieres

[@Dimmers]

I am very confused; how is this your biggest test yet, but this is your first video. So yes, no matter what you put on here, it will be your biggest test as its the only test you have on here?

[@RTINGScomRD]

Hi Dimitri, This is because this is our second channel. We've been buying and testing products for several years now via our main account and website: www.rtings.com/

[@marinaroyal7430]
