Answer 1

Hi,
Well electronics are electronics. There's no way of predicting how long their going to last. I am an electronics technician and I would advise you on one thing,
When you are buying any tv, you have to consider the picture sensitivity of the tv if you want to get the best picture under worst conditions.
Sensitivity is all about how capable you tv is producing a better quality picture when a weak signal is fed. So any tv whick will give you a best picture when a weak signal is fed will give you the best picture when a strong signal is fed. I hope you got it!
If you have been watching cable tv before, then you would know at least one tv channel with bad reception. Ok, now keep that tv channel in your mind and when you go to the store, ask them to hook up cable to all tv's that you're consider buying. Then aks them to tune into that weak reception channel you know on all the tvs you wnat to consider.
Now you can see which tv gives you the best and worst picture under weak conditions. The tv that gives you the best picture under weak condition is the tv to go for.
Good Luck!

I would still go with a Sony. That's all I've ever bought in the last 15 years and never had one go bad. I currently have a 32" Sony XBR CRT (picture tube) HDTV that has worked flawlessly for 7 years, and a 40" Sony Bravia LCD HDTV that has worked flawlessly for about a year and a half.

Also, do you have a power line conditioner or surge protector for the TV? Any LCD TV, regardless of manufacturer, is going to be more susceptible to voltage fluctuations and surges than a CRT TV. Voltage spikes (high or low) in the line voltage can easily damage an LCD display if the spike makes it through the power supply.

If you're going to invest several hundred dollars on an LCD TV, kick in the extra $80 or so for a quality power line conditioner. And get one where you run the cable/satellite signal through it, too. Voltage spikes can be induced onto the TV cable itself, which can be just as damaging as a voltage spike in the line voltage.
