I’m still using a 65" gen 7 dlp… I have replaced the dlp engine once but been good since… 15 years and running strong… only 1080p but good colors. I calibrated it from the service menu years ago. Not sure what i’d buy if I had to buy a new tv… 
I had my 65 inch LG OLED screen replaced twice under warranty due to burn in. Supposedly, the third screen is an improved technology, less susceptible to burn in.
We have heard that one before

I said that 18 months ago, I was wrong

Have to agree the LG panels are very good. The problem is the back light. Ours lasted less than five years before the back light started to fade. Then yellows turned green and could not be adjusted. Check the interwebs and you’ll see a lot of issues with the back light on LGs. Now I need a new one and guess what? I’ll probably get an LG. They’re that good. Too bad they’re essentially disposable now days.

Slight cross purposes here, OLED panels don’t have backlights, that’s most likely an LCD panel issue.

Interesting. What didn’t you like about the devialet?
Nothing special. But I have for over 40 years a virus called Audiophile Nervosa😉. So need a change now and then

And does that help against the disease? 
The Linn does for the moment. I think the ordered amp will cure my😜.

Fair enough. I wondered because I looked at the devialets when settling on my dream system. When the volume is cranked I think the devialet sounds better than almost anything I’ve heard. But at low volumes (where I actually do most of my listening) it was a considerably duller amp. I was surprised to find out that it was two amps in one and the innovations that made it sound so great required higher volumes (power). I went with a different direction (Cambridge Audio Edge series).
Funny that they look so small in the photos. They are not (small). But definitely a minimalist vibe.

I had many amps and speakers over the years. I ( the wife) wanted to downsize the amount of boxes so I searched for a one box solution and decided for the Devialet expert pro 220. Speakers became Manger P1 after longtime Martin Logan’s. Love your Focals.

Yep, you’re right. My misunderstanding of the technology. I guess LG made some panels that just didn’t last because there’s a lot of complaints about the issue.

In general static images (even logos) are poisonous to OLEDs. Classic LCD panels wear too but are way more resilient. Image quality is with the OLEDs. No contest.
Also worth mentioning is switching off an OLED TV often is a bad idea as these guys may run panel recovery procedures off hours.

Backlights for LCD screens have always been a bit of a lottery. They always degrade over time, put a new LCD screen next to an old one and the yellowing of the whites is usually apparent. I’ve got monitors where the backlights are still OK after 20 years, Dell in particular are strong there. A bit of we research indeed suggests that this was a pretty horrible problem with some LG LCD screens with the suggested “fix” been to turn up the brightness, thus shortening the life further.
I’d not argue that LCD is likely more resilient over time but I’ve got a 5-year-old LG OLED TV that shows no discernable signs of screen burn or picture quality degradation. I’m pretty careful to run the maintenance tasks regularly and my son knows that freezing his PS5 and leaving the room won’t go down well.

I have always wanted to listen to Manger speakers. Hopefully one day. Enjoy.

So what’s in the mail to replace it? How did you like the sound?
And thanks, I do like the Focals.
