My current Samsung is three years old and going strong. My previous Sammy lasted 6 years.

I have only bought one, in 2004. It's dated, 720p, but everything on it works.

We use Firesticks, Roku's and Nvidia streamers on ours. Doesn't matter how old the tv is.

Nothing beats a plasma. I bought mine in 2011 and it still has a fantastic picture, albeit, 1070dpi.

You can get a 100" flat screen from Best Buy for less than $2000. That is incredible.

CRT TVs seemed to last forever. Odd that there used to be a healthy TV repair market.

Adorable idea! The fur friends are cozy, super comfortable if properly padded, and protected!

Yeah I'm actually surprised how long people are having their flat screens around.

I have a 46" Sharp HD TV that I purchased in 2009, and the picture is as good as the day I got it.

My Samsung Plasma was bought in August of 2011. Still going strong and the picture is fantastic.
