Durable TV Brands

Looks like I spoke too soon. Our 4-year-old barely used 39" LED Devant already has a vertical gray line in the middle of the display.

Our 6-year-old 40" IPS Skyworth that does Playstation duties nonstop during weekends is still going strong.

I'm now looking at screens in the 50k range +- a few thousand. OLED looks like it's never going down to that level anytime soon. QLED is close but not quite. Eyeing both the TCL 6-Series and the 2017-model Sony X90F. TCL is cheaper by more than 10k but Sony has the brand cachet.

Eyeing for TCL 6-series but is not yet available as per Western Appliances' inquiry to TCL ph. Only the P6US (2017) or the P-series.

I checked the brochure at SM Appliance and the current 6-series models they have already have microdimming. Their demo vid does not do justice to the screen though.

The Panasonic 32" Viera LCD I bought in 2010 is still soldiering on.

I see Hisense being mentioned. We have a 2014 32" Hisense 720p TV. The image quality was really good and the price was cheap (less than $100). But, someone set the backlit light to 100% and it burned out earlier this year. Firmware updates are also somewhat slow. I'll get the backlight replaced and use it as an external monitor for my laptop. But, not right now.

We ended up replacing it with a 48" Sony Bravia.
