How long did your LCD TV last?

http://tvrepairinfo.com
Being in the TV repair business, naturally I going to see the worst of TVS, so perhaps I'm wrong to conclude that most LCD TVs don't seem to last over four years, but this is the impression I'm getting.
Compared to the older cathode ray tube TVs it's surprising the short life that LCD and Plasma TVs last.
Just last week I saw an older style Curtis Mathes CRT TV that was 25 years old and still working okay. It did need a simple repair a few years ago but otherwise the picture still looked pretty good. Just for the record the model was A2634RP.

I thought it would be interesting to hear from others. Does anyone here have an LCD TV that made it past 4 years?

There is hardly a month that I don't hear a story like yours.

is there a different between a LCD tv and a LCD projector for computer? I have an acer P193w LCD for computer that is still working like new since 2008, I use it like 8-10 hrs per day.

Yes they are Two completely different TV's. I don't think you will find to many people using LCD projection TV's for their computers although it can be done as long as you have compatible inputs and outputs.

I have a Dynex lcd tv that is 4 1/2 yrs old, and it just went bad. It went bad after pluging a computer monitor through vga. When I turn it on the picture is good but after 5mins or less the picture goes gloomy. It goes bad when watching regular tv chanels, and on all inputs as well. Any ideas? thnx in advance.
