I have an option to buy a LG OLED C6 but it has 8600 hours on the clock. Does anyone have experience with an Older 3D OLED? Is the brightness still there? Image Burn-In/Retention probability (assuming it looks good now) etc..
It is reasonably cheap and at the price it is being listed for, if I could get a minimum 2000 more hours out of it I would be happy.

Re: LG C6 OLED Buy or Not?
My E6 has 8320 hours of glorious 3D Vision gaming, and the color/brightness is still great - with no burn-in of any type (recommend at least 2080Ti GPU for native 4K interlaced resolution). By far, the best 3D display I have owned. With this third gen OLED display, LG claimed to have greatly expanded screen life to 100,000 hours. See https://www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php? ... n=showfull, for example.

Re: LG C6 OLED Buy or Not?
What year was it made? 8600 hours is nearly the equivalent of running it 24 hours a day for one whole year or 12 hours a day for 2 years. 6 hours a day for 3 years.
Also to consider if there's any visible burn-in and the seller's asking price. My current plasma is rated for a half life of 100,000 hours but eats a lot more electricity than an OLED. Most of the used 3D plasma's I've checked out in the past year or so had roughly 10,000 - 20,000 hours on them. At 100,000 the plasmas would theoretically be half as bright when new - could possibly extend it with conservative brightness settings. The older non-3D plasma I gave away had around 53,000 hours on it at the time and I ran that 12 hours a day for 3 or 4 years after doing light board work on it.

If there is no burning, no banding, and ghosting, just get it,
