Should I buy another flat screen now while they are still relatively cheap?


My current Vizio 65" is either 7 or 8 years old, and it gets a lot of use.  Is there an average life span on these?  My previous Samsung 70" made it about ten years as I remember.  I see that WalMart still has flat screens in that (or around that) size for relatively cheap.

My furniture does not tend to wear out and out right fail, @gdaddy1 , and unlike you, I can repair my 20+ year old vehicles.  My AC unit only runs from June through August and in my experience they have lasted for a long time.  Washing machine and refrigerator  were replaced approximately two years ago before the threats of war on the American consumer started, and the drier a year before that, so they should outlive Dear Leader.  My furnace is one of my other concerns.

I have declining vision (as you mentioned of yourself) and my advice is to purchase a good/better unit now (keep the old functioning one as a backup).
