Thinking about getting 40-inch and I would like to know about the longevity. Has anyone owned one for over 1 year?

Yes, I've owned it over a year and a half. It's a great TV, good picture, good sound. I bought another one!

Have owned a 40" TCL for over two years and it works great. Picture is exceptional, sound is similar to all flat screen tv's a little weak. Have it in the bedroom and with a ROKU attached it is quite the media center.

I replaced 2 15 year old models in my restaurant with one new one - they have run everyday for 15 yrs! Sold them and paid for a new model - never had a problem - runs like a champ. Don't know anything about the other model in question.

I'm sorry to hear that! I haven't had any problems with mine at all! I use it daily and it's just as good today as the day I got it!

We have had ours for about a year and we love it. I use it for work everyday. I have a laptop, docking station and a monitor on mine and it does great. My husband will also use it and he loves it too.

We've had ours for 4months. We use it every day and are very pleased with it.

The reason I bought it was its high rating. When it comes to kitchen gadgets, I usually go quality over cost. Going cheap tends to lead to burned food or re-buying the gadget. That being said, I've had mine for about 6 years and it has never failed me. Alton did motivate me to buy one, but I did not specifically seek out the model he used.

I've had mine for a little over a year. It's still like new. I'm about 250 lb man.

I suppose?! I have mine for 4 and a half year with no problems. And I do use it daily.

I've been using it full time for 1.5 years with no problems. It's probably unrealistic to think that ANY air mattress would last 20 years, though...

Mine lasted 4 years. I shoul dof taken out a warranty on it but did not. We habe 5 TV's and they are all SamSung's and never had an issue and some are 8 years old. All bought from Amazon. The Board ?/(greenboard)?? went out on the the 32" Samsung I had. I think I just got a dud as the others are great. I did buy another 32" 720P with a warranty this time. It is doing great..

According to what Philips told me, they no longer made this model as of a year or so ago. I had audio issues that were "unusual" according to the tech. He was local, and I trusted him. However, he couldn't fix the issue, and Philips sent me a replacement. It was "reconditioned," and soon developed the same "rare" problem. They finally replaced it with a new one, but it was a different model (46") because they told me they no longer made the 47". It was a shame, I liked the 47" features (mainly the input selections and the digital audio out). The 46" is a good TV and I've been happy with it (no problems), and I DO like Philips, but this model has been put out to pasture.

Yes - I think I got mine for $45. It has held up well over a year and I"m happy with it.

We've had ours for a year. It has been loved heavily in that time period. They sleep on it (not at the same time), love to scratch on it, and it fits beautifully in our living room (not an eye sore). It can be turned over, so it really does last a long time. The cool effect of the cut cardboard is gone after a month or so of use, but the piece itself lasts at least a year. We're about ready to buy a new one and place the current one in a less conspicuous place.

I've had mine since April 2013 and even though I don't use it daily, it's held up fine after over a year of use. Just don't try to stuff it too full and you should be fine.

cant confirm how long it will last, because dont know how many hours of the day you will use it. All I know is the box store told my in-laws it would be around $300.00. We purchased 2 at a time for $72.00 or so, they love it and they have a replacement on hand if it goes out. Even if they replace it every year, they get a new TV for $35. I believe its a good deal. A lot better than $300 any way you slice it. Good Luck, hope this helps.

I have a feeling the longevity is around 4 years. Mine is also about 4 years old and I had an issue today where it was jumping around 0.6 for no reason... I imagine the sensors on the bottom get worn out. Not sure if a shot of WD-40 will make things better or worse.

I bought mine about 4 years ago and have used it everyday with no problems whatsoever. Never had to replaced any parts yet.
