My wife brought a 37" Vizio into the relationship she got in 2008. It still works great. It’s now hanging on the wall in the bedroom (and requires a special bracket because it doesn’t have the VESA specified mount). We have a FireTV that allows us to stream television to it. It has survived two moves, plus being relocated in the house a few times.
So I’m with the guy in the comic - waiting for it to break could take forever.
Our living room TV and Blu Ray player are from that very short time period where you could get a 3D TV setup that uses passive polarized glasses, not active shutter glasses. (We’ve only ever watched one movie in 3D on it.) So even that is at least 9-10 years old at this point.
Obviously I’m not big on getting the latest and greatest TV, but if you wait until it’s broken, it could be a while, in my experience. I’m generally with the wife on upgrading things, ie after they break, but for some things, that might not be a viable plan (or, the reward is worth it).
