Should I buy another flat screen now while they are still 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

It is a serious question and one  not intended to start a fire, @bigtwin , but the reason I am asking is because I would think that the ’T’ word will dramatically raise the prices, and I know how my luck usually works.  Do you know if flat screens do have an average life?  And this would be with heavy use?

And I agree with you--they seem to be crazy cheap right now.  I think I remember that Vizio I have now going for around $800 and the Samsung it replaced being around $1700 and the ancient RCA (that was big but not flat) costing about 3k.  I was at WalMart today grocery shopping, and because I have been thinking about this, I went down the flat screen aisle and 65" (or even larger) can be had for under $400.

And on edit:  I also agree with you about usually not buying a TV until the old one craps out.  'Usually' being the operative word.

It depends on how much tech/bells and whistles you want. 

That is not a factor for me, @llg98ljk .

Just as an add-on, Sony and LG usually test at the top of the test charts.

That is helpful.

I am literally half blind (probably more than half) so, in general, the bigger the better.  I've seen bigger at Wal Mart, up to 80", but 65" is big enough right now.  The reason for my question, however, pertains to near-future availability and pricing.

My furniture does not tend to wear out and out right fail, @gdaddy1 , and unlike you, I can repair my 20+ year old vehicles.  My AC unit only runs from June through August and in my experience they have lasted for a long time.  Washing machine and refrigerator  were replaced approximately two years ago before the threats of war on the American consumer started, and the drier a year before that, so they should outlive Dear Leader.  My furnace is one of my other concerns.

Buy 10 or 12 of them.

Just one will suffice, @jerryg123 .
