Nice. That's a future proof purchase, should be good for atleast 5 years. I am also keeping an eye out for this model unfortunately in India they don't have the 48 inch model else would have purchased it eyes closed as I have space constraints. Hopefully, they will launch the smaller size soon in India too.

Super interesting. And makes sure I am never touching these with a 10 foot pole. :lol:

Not at all built to last. 

 

These el cheapo TVs are for roll the dice only, if you want quality, good after sales service etc you have to put down the big buccs.

I personally prefer the ye Olde model where you buy a TV for good money and it is a robust item that works for 7-8 years easily, and can be repaired if there are any minor problems.

Same reason why i prefer PC gaming to consoles, PC parts are more durable and backed by 3-5 year warranties, although my PS4 is working fine since 5 years apart from power button issue.

Cheap TVs yes but can't say the same for consoles, at least not for Sony. I have used PS 2,3 and now 4 each for at least 4 years. I have had zero issues.

My PS4 is now 4 years old and I have had no issues despite multiple powercuts/surges and heat because I keep it inside a TV cabinet.

My friends who have had PS systems for over 3-4 years also don't have any issues. I am sure the same goes for Xbox but I don't have any experience.

The controller yes, that is an issue - all of my friends have had to change their controller atleast once every two years. I am one of the lucky few with a controller that has lasted 4 years (touchwood).
