For real though: it’s easier to convince the wife if the old TV can be sold to make the space and get some money to put towards the new one. TVs can last for decades and it’ll be a long time if you’re waiting for it to get “broken”.
He is correct tho. Unless we are talking about some more expensive tvs. Ironicaly more expensive tv dont last as long Beacuse they have more cutting edge experimental technology ( early OLEDs for example ).
Maybe if you’re paying the Samsung/Sony/LG premium
But the cheap brands most people buy like TCL and Hisense, cut corners everywhere they can so that they can hawk a 75" “4K” TV for $400. They usually die in < 5 years and it’ll probably be, at least one of, the LED backlight strips. They’re damn near almost made to be “disposable”
The joke in the comic is that they are playing a wii game without the controller straps. The kids will probably whip the controllers into the TV, breaking it.
old TVs last forever. After our decade old one finally bit the dust My family got a fancy ass huge 4k Samsung one and it died in like 3 months. No physical damage, it just stopped turning on 🤷♀️
Replaced it with a cheap 1080p one from Walmart and it’s been doing well.

Don’t worry, they’re making them cheaper and less reliable by the minute!
Ummm…who wants to tell him?
