RTINGS included three OLED monitors in its longevity test, which seeks to simulate 10 years of use within two years; however, the monitors have only been tested for six months so far. Two of those monitors, Alienware’s AW3423DWF and Samsung’s Odyssey G8, use 21:9 QD-OLED panels from Samsung Display. RTINGS’ test originally ran a non-stop, 16:9 CNN feed on the displays.
I can safely ignore these results. The monitors are being abused in an incredible way in a short period of time. The tests do not represent real life usage. Not even close.
Hahahaha you severely missed the mark of the whole point of this article. Like you said, it’s meant to simulate 10 years in a short amount of time.
If you intend on buying a new monitor every year yeah, this probably doesn’t matter to you one bit. But if you use these panels over years this matters. Abusing it is the same way you benchmark things to get the base performance. We don’t have a Time Machine.

You’ve never heard of the term “stress-testing” before, have you?
