From the article: "I wouldn't worry too much even if I was an average viewer, someone who watches nearly five hours of TV per day. Addicts and others who need a 24/7 TV, however, should probably stick with LED-backlit LCD.'
 
Bad advice. LED backlit TVs have a lifespan measured in hundreds of hours, not thousands in many cases. I've done close to a thousand LED jobs over the last few years. Modifying the current source afterwards is critical to prevent comebacks. These TVs run the LEDs beyond their safe rating in order to make them "pop" at Walmart. The original CCFL LCD TVs lasted many tens of thousands of hours.

At least I'll know where to get advice if / when my Samsung LED-lit LCD has
trouble before I want to replace it.
 
I'd love an OLED TV (my phone screen is awesome!) but it's not an option on
my budget.
