How long is LED LCD TV Life cycle?

[mugupo]

We all know current plasma claim 100,000 life cycle
LCD tv 60,000 life cycle
what about led lcd tv?

[SlmShdy1]

I read an article that the LED panels last for about 40,000 hours but of course it uses less energy. Technically, it's 40,000 hours until it gets to half of its original brightness, so it could last longer.

[paperthrower2000]

40,000 should last me till someting new comes along.

[My_Two_Cents]

Do the math. 40K, 60K or 100K till half brightness, not many people are going to still have their sets at those hours.

well that comes out to 833.3 days playing time so that will probaly take 7-10 years for me to acomplish so im not quiet running to best buy to return my tv

Hopefully by the time all of our LCD burn out around 40-50K hours, we will have the holodeck by then

and we can disengage the safety protocols...

I think the 40,000 short life span statement for LED TVs is wrong, and probably addresses LED projection instead. The life of a backlit LED LCD TV is much superior to that a normal LCD TV. From a Google search of reputable technical sources on the subject:

LED TV screen life span:
"The lifespan of an LCD television depends on the life of its backlighting bulb. These bulbs are often rated to above 60,000 hours in regular fluorescent-lit LCD panels, whereas new LED-backlit televisions have expected lifespan of over 100,000 hours."

"Dan Schinasi, Sr. Marketing Manager, Digital Projection TV for Samsung Electronics America, notes that an LED light source presents a number of benefits that directly affect the consumer’s viewing experience. Besides those points noted above, there is 'a noticeably superior life-span—the LED light source lasts for the life of TV, as opposed to 60,000 total hours.' Consumers receive an additional economic lift because they won’t have to replace a lamp after two or three years of LED use, Schinasi says."

"The LED light source helps increase the panel life two fold compared to previous CCFL panels. The light source is also environmentally friendly because it uses no Mercury."

I think the lcd it self fails before the back lighting will.
After my tv death experiance I was able to watch a technician open her up. There really is only 4 parts to the inside of the tv.

1 - The LCD
2 - The Backlighting around the LCD
3 - Motherboard
4 - The Power Board.

With the lack of active cooling for these boards and the fragile nature of the LCD I think the backlighting will be the last thing to go. This is just my opinion though.

What the hell is Schinasi talking about replacing a bulb in 2 or three years? He must be referring to DLPs. If you watched TV for 8 hours a day, every day, your LCD set would last 20.5 years! You do the math. It will be obsolete in 10 years, maybe less. I do like LEDs and that they are environmentally friendly.

LCDs are very fragile. It's more likely to be broken by your kid throwing a ball or a toy at it, creating lots of spider cracks. My neighbor lost his LCD that very way.

Dude your TV will last forever (well almost). Ask your mom to chill. She just doesn't want you playing video games.

Dude dont worry. Playing video games will not shorten the life span of your tv or break the tv. Its like someone else said and thats that I dont think your mom wants you playing video games.

The answer is 50,000 hours.

[erlinmeyer]

The true average lifespan of LED television sets remains to be seen, as of 2011, because the technology is still young. Some manufacturers, like Samsung, claim that the actual LEDs in some of their LED television sets will supply approximately 100,000 hours of useful life. At six hours of use every day, that works out to approximately 45 years of service. In other words, it’s likely that your LED television will fail because of some other component instead of the LEDs themselves.

If my W900A lasts 40, 50, 60 or even a 100k I will be happy because frankly I dont see myself parting with it anytime soon or in the furture.
