Bought one of them cheapo $250 55” 4k TV’s 20 mos ago.
Dead.
Warranty 12mos
I literally don’t recall having any tv die in less than 10 years my whole life. Hell we have a flat screen 50” we bought at target for $200 8 years ago. It sits outside under the pergola and it still works.
I have 3 neigbors who brought brand new cars (actually 4) the last 3 mos All three have been in the shop over 6 weeks with leaky sun roofs that cannot get fixed properly (2 are waiting for parts) The 4th car was a new diesel 1/2 ton the guy bought. It sat in the shop on and off for 4mos. The guy finally had it lemon law’d. That was something with a chip or whatever. The engine wouldn’t run properly
Shit is bad these days it appears

It's the Tcon board or one of the other boards. Can be found cheap at Shopjimmy.com
Yes new TVs are junk

It's cheap foreign laborers taking black jobs that white people refuse to do... I think that ought to cover it to everyone's satisfaction.

It’s our darn “throw away” economy. Buy it and replace it. It now makes the commercial world go around.

You’re right. Once upon a time reliability and longetivity (sp) was a thing with products. Somewhere things shifted to cheap. Cheap price cheap made. Yet we’re replacing shit at a much faster clip

I bought a 55" cheap tv 7 years ago. Only $200 still working fine. Not a smart tv though. Before that bought an expensive smart TV for father's day. 8 months later tornado busted it to hell.

TVs were better about 3 1/2 years ago. Just like a lot of other things. Hopefully quality will return.
