Yeah, 3k hours is nothing. I'm an edge case, but I am on my computer most waking hours, and gaming most of the time. I have something like 5.5k hours of game time in Forza Horizon 5, which just turned 4 years old; I have several other games I play heavily too, like 900 hours of American Truck Sim in the last 2 years.
I'm in the 'wait for prices to keep dropping' boat, and my current monitor is fine other than 'just' being a ips lcd instead of oled or whatever else. But at that time frame, I'd be buying new units like every 2 years. That's fucking insane. I expect like a decade of issue-free use from a monitor.
I know monitors aren't RAM or SSDs, but given what is happening with computer parts, I want to steer away from wear-components to the extent reasonable.
I do still use SSDs because of the overwhelming advantage compared to HDDs, but I'm perfectly content with non-OLED monitors.
