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.

Budget?

Should be less than 1k. Preferably can go shopee pay later since need the tv but cash need to save for other important stuff.

My home got normal LED panasonic tv, over 10 years edi

Unfortunately I think i got a lemon set. Right now want to consider other cheaper brands as long as quite reliable. 5 years is indeed quite a short lifetime for a tv.

A sony.
Don't smack the tv again ok.

I dont lol. But my twin boys so strong climb over cabinet and reach the tv. Already wall mountef quite high but they always manage somehow. Usually just tepuk tepuk using their baby hands. Is it really because of this? I thought tcon issue so been thinking of getting a replacement. But scared if buy and yet doesn't fix the issue.

Forgot to add, got lightning arrestors, all devices connected to arrestor ok, tv connected to Astro NJOI kaput together with dish/astro box/android box. Just ordered from lapsada yesterday, 785 bucks burn...

*Next time install astro dish at porch level not house roof level.

Why not replace the TCON

Thought about this. Will it fix the issue? Afraid if buy later doesn't fix. But read around and some people did mention it's the tcon.

now electrical appliances all not tahan anymore
consider lucky if can last 5 years

Crap than what brand can tahan for long? All these seems like planned obsolescence if you ask me

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

Exactly my suspicion. Oh well, i'll bite the bullet and buy one. Hopefully can give good results. Btw replace tcon need special method (ic swap, etc)?

My Pany Plasma 20 years still going strong.
Retired it due to the electricity cost.
My Sony LED 5 years already but have dirty screen effect even after many times doing pixel washing.

Anyway, I recommend you to get another Sony.

I wouldn't want a TV that can last 20 years.
5 to 7 years KO will be fine.
Can upgrade.
