The 2016 OLEDs are rated at 100,000 hours: http://www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1465304750
Like any other TV the other electronics will probably fail before the panel itself goes out.
I read that but that report sounds like the next models will have that, and people are questioning how they measured it. Usually, companies say thing that puts them in the best light, not the worst. So if they're basing it off red, it'll have a longer lifespan than blue. The true lifespan, is the half life of the worst color. Personally, I'm a bit skeptical that they went from dramatically worse to dramatically better than LCD and only one source is reporting it.
I bought a 2015 vizio m80 a few months ago for $2600. The wife wanted at least a 70" in our living room and I really wanted a vizio set. But at the time, vizio didn't have the M series out yet or at least in 70"+. It's my first 4k set and I missed out on HDR =(. But I still have a 60" in my loft that I'll be replacing eventually so that replacement will likely be a 65-70" M series. Reading all this makes me sad that our main TV doesn't have hdr capabilities. And I planned on having the ps neo down there for the 4k Br player
Ouch.
