You'd think they'd mention response times.

A fast LCD display element has a response time of a few miliseconds. A fast OLED display element has a response time of a few microseconds. OLEDs are about a thousand times faster than LCDs, far too fast for any lag to be perceivable.

These spokesbods are supposed to highlight a product's strengths, aren't they?

On the subject of consumer durable durability, I think all of our family's TVs did at least 12 years service apiece, and none of them were ever disposed of until they were thoroughly knackered. We were using a Sony Trinitron with a tuning knob well into the 1990s, and I can still remember the channel positions (ITV = 25, C4 = 28, BBC1 = 32, BBC2 = 35). O tempora, o mores.
