Like, if they only last 2-3 years, is there a reliable date I can know they’ll die on? That’s good to know. Like, a lot of TCLs have a hard 3-year life. It’s good to know what you’re buying. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] runefehay@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago I have a Sceptre tv. I use it as a TV and computer monitor. I don't remember exactly when I bought it, but it has been at least several years-maybe a decade, and it works great. The only issue is I think I damaged the screen slightly a year or two ago while cleaning. Most of the time the damage isn't visible and is very small, so I don't worry about it. Well...and I had to replace the remote once as some buttons stopped working properly. Otherwise I have been using it without problem. permalink fedilink source parent
