LG OLED is not true color OLED, but a hack, having a white OLED emitting panel and a color filter on top. It has many downsides like lower efficiency, maximum brightness and color accuracy.

However, because they're all the same color all of the OLEDs degrade at the same rate so the color balance doesn't shift over time.

Yes, though it still improves on the many problems of IPS and VA LCD technologies.

Since it doesn't rely on the panel trying to block a very bright backlight, yes.
