Two CRT sets I bought new (79 GE, 90 XBR) needed repairs within a couple years, neither of my Panasonic Plasmas (2008, 2014) has had an issue. Neither did the 2005 Sony LCD Rear Projector. (replaced by the Plasma)
I have a 2007 Samsung LCD that I got with a bad PS cap and repaired, it's been running fine since 2011.
My two HP LCD Monitors from 2007 have never had a problem and they probably get more use than the TV's, the one I'm using now has 13,000 hours on the back light, the monitor itself is always on.
Older CRT sets were probably more easily repaired and parts more available, but that has more to do with the manufacturing process than anything else.
