This is more an irony than a vent. The 9 year old Sony 32 inch panel TV in our bedroom will not die despite me wanting to upgrade it for years. However, the 4 year old Sharp 60 inch TV in my man cave that cost a pretty penny did die on the weekend. This is a TV I did not want to replace. While it is out of manufacturers warranty, I'm pushing for it to be repaired under the statutory warranty that I believe it should still be covered by.
