Should I buy another flat screen now while they are still relatively cheap?


My current Vizio 65" is either 7 or 8 years old, and it gets a lot of use.  Is there an average life span on these?  My previous Samsung 70" made it about ten years as I remember.  I see that WalMart still has flat screens in that (or around that) size for relatively cheap.

The price of TVs continues to fall every year as new technology comes along.  Unless this is the tariff question in disguise,  I would say never buy a TV until you have to.  It will be cheaper next year.  IMHO

The average flat-screen TV can last anywhere from 5 to 16 years, with LED TVs potentially lasting the longest (11-16 years). LCD screens typically last 5-10 years, while plasma TVs have a shorter lifespan of 5-7 years. Factors like usage, brightness settings, and environmental conditions can all influence a TV's actual lifespan.
