How long do tube televisions usually last for?

Question

The old style tube.

Answer 1

It's variable, but I still have my 1984 Mitsubishi color TV and it's as good as ever.

Answer 2

Depends on the year it was made, the model, other such things.

But as a broad guesstimation.. 10, 20 years easily.

But it could also easily be 3-5.  Really depends on the quality of the merchandise.

If you buy a new tv, make sure you buy samsung.  Very low return rates.  Much lower than sony and panasonic.

Answer 3

10 to 15 years

Answer 4

Most last 10 to 14 years and SOME actually get 15 to 20 years on them....

93 % will be bad by year 14.....

Answer 5

I don't think I've ever had one last less than 10 except for the couple of casualties of a house lightning strike, although I'd think some of the cheaply-made ones might.  I know some that are still alive and doing just fine at 20+, although the oldest one (which is also a bit weird) needed a cable box to be able to handle more than 13 channels.
