HotHardware: ‘Edge rot’ hit 14 of 16 older WOLED TVs in stress tests

HotHardware reports dead pixels along older WOLED panels’ edges after roughly 18,000 hours of accelerated testing.

LG WOLED TVs suffer from 'edge rot' pixel death — pixels go dark around the edges, similar to a mold pattern; nearly all WOLED test units show clear signs of degradation

TLDR

Burn-in has company: HotHardware reports dead pixels spreading along panel edges in 14 of 16 older WOLED TVs in accelerated tests. Its report describes “edge rot” after roughly 18,000 hours. None of the three QD-OLED TVs tested showed it, but Rtings cautions that what's visible is small and the technology’s long-term track record remains limited.
