I am in consideration to invest in an LG TV, but wondering about its longevity. I've heard they're popular, but how long do they typically last? I'm not planning to upgrade to a smart TV for the next couple of years, so durability is the key. Any insights or experiences with LG TVs would be greatly appreciated.
LG TVs are one of the brands that will last the longest. The LED TVs typically last for 10 to 15 years with low brightness settings used or 7 to 10 years with the highest brightness level. The OLED and Plasma LG TV models last for 5 to 7 years, while those TVs with LCD screen lasts 5 to 10 years.
However, the average lifespan and durability may vary as per the usage, model, quality of the products used and environmental factors like temperature, humidity, exposure to dust, etc. It is indeed important to maintain the TV regularly like cleaning or removing dust and keep it in a ventilated area which in turn will prolong the lifespan of the TV.
Besides, you can also choose to use the LG TV in energy-saving mode, which will help you use the TV for longer than usual.
Since you are in consideration to buy a TV from an LG brand, I would recommend buying an OLED models based on your budget. I purchased an LG TV in 2019, and with an average usage of 6 hours every day and average maintenance, it still works without any problems. Hope that was of help to you!!
