My wife and I bought our used OLED for just under $900. The screen had maybe 400 hours of use on it. In the 8 months since then, we've added another 900 or so hours. Some days, I'm playing Zelda all day. Other days, we don't turn it on at all. Only thing it didn't have was the feet, which was okay since we were always going to mount it.

I have no regrets about buying an OLED TV so far. As far as I've read, these screens can run 40-80k hours and still retain half their original brightness. Assuming I get 60k out of mine and it takes 8 months to add 900 hours, I've got 43 years before the screen is down to 50% brightness. I'm planning to replace it in ten or fifteen anyway.

The depths in Tears of the Kingdom look DAMN GOOD on an OLED, especially in a dark room.
