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.

OP I bought my LG 65 OLed 4 months after release 50% off. Texasblue1959 I bought 100. 

Following through with this mentality you should maybe think about other items that would also be affected. Why just the TV ? Don't stop there. Get a new refridgerator, dishwasher, washer/drier, AC units, new car.  Furniture is way more expensive than the TV and as you are suggesting, most items will be subject to increases. So why wait? Go for it.

 

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.
