It's no secret that TVs always improve year-over-year, whether that's because they offer higher brightness, better color vibrancy, better contrast or some mixture of the three. That said, unless you have plenty of cash to spare and make it your passion project, it’s unlikely you’re upgrading every year.
So how do you know when it’s out with the old and in with the new? Most TVs should last at least five years before needing to be upgraded, and it’s entirely reasonable for you to expect up to 10 years from a high-end TV that you use regularly. But if you’re looking to get as many years as possible out of your TV, there are still plenty of signs to look out for to know when your old TV is on its last legs.
