When are people going to get off this "LCD TVs only last two years or until the warranty runs out, whichever comes first" thing?
The first LED/LCD flat screens may have had that short a lifespan, but the technology has improved a great deal since then. I know someone who has had her LCD flat screens (she has two in her house) for much longer than two years; both sets still work well. My own 19" FP is now five years old and works every bit as well as the day I purchased it.
Certainly, there are always going to be instances in which FP TVs fail within 2 years or less due to design flaws, faulty components, etc. but as a rule, if a FP TV lasts through the warranty without problems, the set will probably work for years. VK member EdinTX has an LCD FP with at least 50000 hours on it (as I just read in a post on VK from him this morning); the set apparently still works well.
