The advantage is, it's cheaper, can provide better color accuracy, and won't burn in as bad as OLED since LEDs have much longer lifespan w.r.t. OLEDs.

I still can't accept to use OLEDs in TVs and computer screens. Both has much higher duty cycles w.r.t. phones and tablets, and I hate burn-in.

RTings has done multi-year burn-in tests and OLED TVs have an exceptional lifespan before burn-in these days, I honestly don't know what motivates this particular concern any more. You'll probably have the caps fail before you notice anything, maybe even multiple rounds if you recap it.

Having had OLEDs for a while now and never experiencing burn in even in my monitor I believe this issue is either very overblown by the small amount of bad experiences and requires a large amount of misuse before it becomes a problem.
