That only makes their "people need to refresh their sets for our bottom line" even worse for them.
BTW, 30 years ago TVs were expensive and still failed. There was a viable TV repair industry because it was worth spending the money to repair and easier to repair.
Anecdotally, my Plasma and my LCDs have been more problem free than when my family had CRT TVs back in the day.
I still have a ~30 year old tube tv that has never needed anything, it still works... But I've been through at least 4 HDTVs.
