I have an 8 year old Samsung that I’ve watched for several hours every day. I’ve also got an 8 year old LG that I view for streaming and movies. When I want to get serious about watching a movie it’s definitely on the LG. It’s got the best blacks by far. I go to Costco once a week and often stop to view the new tv’s. But I’ve no reason to purchase one when I’ve got two at home that work fine. I guess what I’m trying to say is I’m not about to purchase something simply because it’s new.
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.
