The last TV that would've lasted 16 years was probably made 40 years ago

I bought my Bravia in 2005 and I've still yet to have any issues.

I bought my first HDTV in like 2011 because the prices were absurd and I didn't want to waste perfectly fine TV's I already had. You must have paid $3200 to get that first of its kind TV. Definitely seems like you got lucky for it to last so long

I misremembered, it's a 2006 TV that I bought on clearance.

I paid £500, which at the time would've been $1,000, as I remember the exchange rate being around 1:2 back then. Might've been £600 actually. The details are fuzzy.
