    Best Brands for longevity.

    I know everyone has their favored brands, but are any known for their lack of problems?

    (I have a Sony KDL-46W-5100 that is dying at 6 years - vertical lines).

    I had an LG fail last year, but easily repaired it with capacitors and advice from here.

    Although kinda vague, any thoughts?

    Re: Best Brands for longevity.

    The problem is that most brands in 2016 try to build a high quality tv with minimal cost. So which brand is reliable now? Uhm , none? Maybe the new OLED tv's or LED tv's that are in the higher price range.....

    My personal favourite is a Panasonic plasma tv , i will never ever change untill OLED gets cheaper. Still searching for a non working VT/ZT60!
    I only repair Panasonic plasma tv's! Currently owning a TX-P55VT50 and still searching for a ZT60!

      Good brands of run capacitor for house heat hump
      by cook
      Are there good brands for 'run capacitors' or 'start capacitors' that are used on electric motors or heat pump compressors? ... r are the good capacitor brands for electronics (power supplies, laptops, motherboards, etc.) also the good brands for run capacitors?
      Yeah I know this might be a novice question, but I just wanted to be sure. I did do a search on the forum but did not see this question asked before.

      Thanks

      laptop vs desktop rust spinner longevity
      by eccerr0r
      Has there been a study on how durable laptop 2.5" vs desktop 3.5" hard drives? Also consider 2.5" SAS drives which were meant for server use...

      The thing that I wonder about is whether or not mechanical abuse can be controlled out. Because laptop disks are subject to more mechanical abuse due to shaking, heat, etc. they tend to die earlier... but if this is controlled out, do they last as long or longer than 3.5" disks? How about 2.5" SAS disks?

      Quality of different TV brands
      by Askic
      Hello guys,

      there is a sticky thread with very impressive and long list of TV brands that use the same Vestel products. Is it fair to say that Panasonic, Philiphs, Telefunken and Vox are practically the same quality since same equipment is built into them?
      I don't think that for example Vestel 17IPS20 is different for 40" Panasonic vs 40" Sharp or Blaupunkt.

      Does this mean that the most important components (MB and PSU) are the same no matter what is written on the chasis? I know that there are very few manufacturers of displays in the world....
