My 43" sony android tv is finally dying after 5 years of serving our family. Which brand should I go for replacement? Considering budget is quite tight, needs to be android (for kodi setup), size can be smaller.

I tried looking around for a possible fix but seems like its related to the panel itself, which can't be replaced. Suspected tcon first, but right now afraid if buy replacement tcon, ended up doesn't fix the issue. Pic related is the symptom

Edit : add budget - less than 1.5k. Better lower than 1k and support instalment like shopee pay later. Cash need to save for other important stuff. And additional photo of symptom





2nd Edit : TV at times becomes OK. Like in this photo that I just took (10PM 30/9/21), picture is fine and no issue at all. Tv has been on since morning till now (kids and wife watching, now I got back from work continue watching). Starting to feel like a cold solder issue. As long as it can survive until i got my bonus, i'll keep it as it is for now.

Samseng

Unker pakai One samseng tv for 10 years still strong

Tv macam kena smash

Lol 5 years only ade kong ah! Wht trash brand weh.....

Mine also same. Cheaper to replace the panel. All done for 500 bucks.

consider normal/smart tv then get android box instead
android box can always upgrade for better performance or newer version
if get android tv u are stuck with it

Wheres the TV mana TV guy. Long time haven't see.

Sony quality drop so much. 5 yr gg d....

Buy new 75 inch TV.

naiisee bar code

Don't watch tv

gotta share budget bro

samseng 75" tv

Why not replace the TCON

So fast 5 years going to kaput? My last Samsung lasted 10 years before moving to new area and fried by lightning twice. Bought Sharp, baru kena lightning, now waiting for parts. Also had 2 Phillips tv, one kena kilat also, no parts since bought 14 years ago and another same time beli still ok.

Bought a new Android/Apple 42" Samsung tv for the kids to play Nintendo last year, looks good, less than 1.3k at Jusco, Series 5/6 can't remember. Better screen resolution (4K) since Samsung/LG provides screen to Sony/Sharp/Toshiba so will stick to Samsung from now on.

Want cheap can get hisense

Yeah.. Samsung also upcar after 5 years with low usage.. surprisingly Panasonic led still kicking, usage is like 4pm to 12am everyday for the pass 10+ years..

my LG only tahan 3 years
now electrical appliances all not tahan anymore
consider lucky if can last 5 years
