Summary
An experienced TV expert outlines five key signs that an OLED TV may be failing or nearing the end of its lifespan: burn-in (permanent image retention), dead or stuck pixels, color tinting or uniformity issues, dimming or loss of brightness over time, and physical damage or screen degradation.
