My broken 43 inch is also plastic. The polarizer still intact ah? The polarizer on my TV has gone bad and can see a huge white patch when viewing off center. I just replaced it out of fear for my kids eyes.

Still functioning 100%. Earlier this year got astro ultra now 1080p seems not enough. Maybe when cartoon channel have 4k will upgrade. The TV has receive many abuse from projectiles from tantrums and survive. It is so heavy that a kid slamming body first didn't topple it. Current batch of grandkids still in kindergarten age so if it breaks we buy a new one. 😜

Luck la... My Panasonic Plasma tv also bought that time because my son started to watch tv. My dad had this old any projection tv, so fucking blur, scare affect his eyes. After he watched then it's my dad's turn. Almost 24/7 since my dad watch tv until fall asleep. Surprisingly can last until now even though my parents moved to their new home 6 years ago. Bought when son 1 years old, now he twelve years old liao. Untung liao... 2.5k for 11 years and counting.

Hmmm, maybe watch on a tablet?

my smart sony tv bought 5yrs+ divide itself into 2 horizontal halves.

bottom half is goner.

based on this thread, I won't be buying another sony tv ever again.

IDK how but I'm guessing it's related to operating temperature. At times it becomes okay like this. I just took this picture and the tv has been on since morning till now (10PM 30/9/21)

I'm eyeing that xiaomi mi tv 32" in shopee. Less than 1k. But like one of /k here said, shopee courier very unreliable. Sure tv died of crack first before i actually get to use it.

I don't mind if it's just me but my kids. They don't have gadgets so the only screen related stuff they had is the tv. Plus me and wife wants to watch stuff also don't want to use handheld devices.

Tv so pandan nowadays. My family Sharp 52" TV 6 months already got problem. Lucky got warranty send to repair ended up they sent new unit instead.

Get haier

That because sharp is sold to china company now. The only real japan tv now is Sony.

Play 75” Samsung Neo QLED liao…

Sony CRT 29“ TV my family bought since 2006 lasted like 6 years. Send to repair few times already. Meanwhile the 11“ Panasonic CRT my family use when I was kindergarten till form 4 still working today. Too bad analog TV signal was phased out.

It's no matter what country producing them. It seem like they purposely make shorter lifespan for electronics products. Washing machine, fridge, TV seem to have shorter lifespan. If they can survive for even 10 years feel like miracle already.

Back in older days, those National brand is the champion. My family fridge lasted like 19 years.

Samseng technician says smart TV's life longer if you turn it off completely (when you call it a day). Leaving TV on standby mode will cut down life span wor.

Donno it its true or not, becoz ayam virgin still.

Perhaps TS should try install those mini fan mcm those used for cooling router onto the TV to cool it?

dont get android tv since it will be more expensive. Get a standard 4k + bigger size tv and it will be around your budget. U can get android box for less than rm200 for kodi.

I'm considering this as well since android tv spec all capalang yet price premium as hell. To get one with 4gb ram is pretty much impossible, much less something that has more than 32gb storage.

Toshiba aku beli 2010. Till now clear

Should be plug and play provided u bought the exact model. Wish u luck.

Edit: plus u need to dismantle the back case if you know how, why not try replace it.
