LEDs are perfectly fine, and look great. Everyone will tell you OLED because they objectively have better black balancing and things, but you run the risk of burn in with OLEDs. I personally prefer QLED to OLED because they are still vibrant and bright, but dont risk burn-in.

What is the lifespan of OLED?

OLED lifespan is generally excellent, with modern TVs rated for up to 100,000 hours (over a decade of use) before significant brightness loss, far exceeding LCDs. However, actual longevity depends heavily on usage, with static content (news tickers, game HUDs) and high brightness accelerating wear and potentially causing burn-in, while varied content and lower settings extend life considerably. Newer panels (QD-OLEDs) often boast even longer estimates, with some reaching 50,000-80,000 hours.
