Two years ago my TV conked out a week before Christmas with family visiting from abroad. Needed to replace quickly and most places were out of stock in bigger sizes.
Was skeptical and bought a Maxsonic, surprisingly still going strong, a few times thought it was getting burn in on the screen and seems to rectify itself. Not an endorsement I’d still choose something more reputable if options available.

I bought a 40" LG ten years ago from Courts. It still works flawlessly.

I had to replace the remote a couple times cuz we kept throwing it down or sitting on it.

100% will buy another LG.

I wont do that. Hit and miss with their products because of many of the items being refurbs. Go to any place than giving you 3year warranty and up!

Our first TV at home was a LG. Lasted 9 years. Bought a Samsung 55" QLED.

Also have a 50" Samsung upstairs. This was purchased before the 55" and was a Pricesmart purchase (Bought to "try out' Samsung and to "try out" psmart quality).

The 55" was bought at Courts.

Will recommend either LG or Samsung. Will also recommend Courts.

My luck with PriceSmart has not been good. :? Three TV's kaput in about 5 years, including a 65" bought specifically for W.C 2018 Bought a TCL that was on sale at Courts pre-pandemic times, and it is holding up well. Most durable, 37" Sony Bravia, 13 years old now.

Ditto on that Bravia. Over 12 yrs and gave in law's. Solid unit. Bought a newer Sony and good service over 6yrs.
Bravia was LCD and newer one is Led and I find the Lcd looks better.

I recently Brought 2 65inch and a 55inch commercial grade Samsung TVs. Commercial grade TV use better electronics and are built to run 24/7.

My favorite feature is they has touch screen

Seems now also it’s a few components that are just to swap out but I guess the time to obtain the part is the issue for repairing TVs that aren’t widespread
