Thing is, they do not make quality electronic these days. We all have great CRT stories from our past. I also have a Philips LCD 32" which is now almost 13-14 yrs old and works beautifully. It costed me around 2.5 L then, and it is made in Holland. Today, we cannot expect more than 3-4 yrs life of any LED Tv irrespective of the brand.
