But how much lifespan can we expect from these lower-priced televisions, particularly when they come loaded with numerous features? There are specific gadgets that many of us replace fairly regularly, yet traditionally, televisions have not been among those frequently updated. It’s quite typical for individuals to keep a television for a duration of 5-10 years. Nevertheless, many believe that contemporary televisions don’t endure as long as earlier models. As a person who daily operates a 27-inch Panasonic CRT from 2001, I speak from personal experience.
In November of 2023, I acquired two brand-new 65-inch TCL Roku televisions, both of which malfunctioned within a year of purchase and just months apart. One had a single burnt LED, resulting in a complete blackout; the other experienced a blown capacitor, leading to a non-functioning display. Fortunately, both were relatively straightforward to repair, but only due to my background in electronics repair. A typical user would have undoubtedly gone out to buy a new television.
