Query: Unacceptable Service Life for Premium TV

7 years ago we treated ourselves to our first (and last) Sony TV. For these 7 years it has been a great tv. Then it would come on and immediately go off. The website indicated that the flashing light on the front may require service but there was some sequences to try to maybe correct the problem. When this did not work I "Chatted" with a technician who finally concluded that the tv required hands on service. This 165# monster requires in home service which I concluded would probably be ~$200+ especially since we live in "The Country". So with some effort the tv went to recycle and we now have a new TV.The big issue is why would I ever spend the 1.5 to 2 times the cost over the excellant Vizio replacement for a Sony??????
