My 52" Sony only has 5729 hours and it's 6 years old and my 2008 47" Sony has 20,003 hours on it. Both were free but broken. The 52" was only 2 years old when I got it and the 47" was also 2 years old when I got it. Most of the hours were put on by the previous owners. Both minor issues. Looked like bad screens on both when I got them but turned out not to be so. 1 T-con for the 52 and LCD ribbon cables for the 47(defective from being too thin-poor contact). Generally when the Sony/Samsung screens go bad, they "ghost" and are darker on the right half. Once warmed up for 15 minutes they work fine(usually). Once they get to that point, they are done. They can be repaired but is quite expensive and not worth it. Not all Sony/Sam screens will go bad. Some Sony's use Sharp LCD's
