    Also, a lot of newer features add complexity and make for more difficult repairs.

      Eh, not really. If anything it’s easier because all you have to do is swap out circuit boards instead of soldering in new parts.

        This. I had a winterized display (leaky roof inspired water damage) and replaced a board and fixed it. Took about 20 min including the time to disassemble the tv itself. $20.

        The research to figure out what components caused the problem was significant, however. Because tv repair isn’t a thing anymore even tho it absolutely should be.
