My 47" LG is almost 3 years old, and I haven't had the first problem of any kind with it. It gets as good a picture as any TV I've seen. If your TV hasn't lasted 9 years since it was new, it doesn't strike me as realistic to think it would last another 10. That would make it 19 years old, I have trouble considering that credible.
Is it worth fixing our 9 year old Sony Wega 50" TV.
The repairman is coming out on Thursday. We have blue spots on our TV that looks like a galaxy. sometimes yellow spots. He said it was the light engine or optical block and may cost $600.00. He said our TV would be worth fixing and would last another 10 years...
But for just a few more $'s we could have a new Samsung or LG...not sure what to do..please advise Thanks.
