that $4000 TV my friend just bought... here is something I just read in a review of his TV.
"OLEDs deteriorate over time and through usage, and blue OLEDs do so at a quicker pace than red and green ones. I asked at a Sony press showcase recently if playing brighter-in-sports HDR would affect the A1E's lifespan--especially the blue elements. If you pump more current into them to make them brighter, you might think that the little beasties might wear out sooner. The product manager told me that HDR shouldn't produce a significant drop in the lifespan of an OLED."
I guess when you plunk down that kind of money , its just a matter of time....

...are precisely the reason I've sworn off expensive TV's. Guess if you watch a lot of movies it might be worth it to you. In contrast expensive TV's don't make network sitcoms any funnier or NCIS any less tedious.

  Been looking at some of the $800-$1,200 4K 65" TV's at Sam's. Not ready to replace my plasma yet so just window shopping.
  
  Noticed several have HDR and "120 motion rate". If you dig deep enough, that seems it's a way to disguise 60hz refresh rate. Is that true?

    ...I simply wouldn't consider one with a refresh rate less than 120Hz. Well, I had no worries with my Panasonic since the refresh rate was something like 600Hz. My new Sony LED TV has a refresh rate of (the horrors) 60Hz. Don't notice any motion artifacts at all. So I'm guessing it's more of a matter of the video processing circuitry, than just the refresh rate.
