Re: What is the current lifespan of your TV?
I'm guessing because the screen saver didn't turn on fast enough, so the menu icon made a burn impression on it. Granted the TV is 5 years old now, so this probably built up over time when my Roku was inactive.
Maybe I'm not using the right terminology, but I'm sure this is more common than you think.

Huh. I’ve had my TCL Series 6 for about 4 years now. My kids use it the most and leave it on the Roku menu for hours at a time - mostly beau s I don’t keep on them about turning it off. But so far, so good. I need to look up how burn-in affects newer techs like QLED, micro, etc.

Re: What is the current lifespan of your TV?
The plan is to keep my 65" LG B7 OLED at least until the extended warranty runs out, so I might pony up for something next year although 2023 sounds more likely. I'd like to move up to a 77" OLED.
And I'd really like to add 2 more rear channels and 2 more height channels -- I'm at 5.1.4 right now but we wired for 7.2.6 when building this place -- but getting matching speakers and buying a 13 ch. AVR has more than a little sticker shock to it.

The OLED 77”s are starting to drop from those cosmic prices. Right now they’re $5k-$6k, so I’m hoping to get one in the $4k range come next year, provided the tech improves a little more with the burn-in.

It’s not the latest and greatest, but the 77” CX is under $3K at Best Buy right now. The 77” C1 is $500 more (so still under $4K, at least before tax and stuff).

I've got my new TV picked out and I'm buying it next week. Ive had my current Samsung 32" TV since 2008. I like the Sony x85J and I'm getting the 43inch model. It's a step up for me as a midrange model ($698.00) and it's 4k with HDR and Dolby Vision.

Until I recently dropped it, my awesome Vizio E55-C1 was at around 7 years. Only issue until it fell off the table was 1 input went bad about a year ago.
