TVs are generally built to last, and they\u2019re easily some of the hardiest devices for the home. Because of this, you might find yourself wondering just how often people buy a new TV.<\/p>\n

Do all TVs last the same length of time? And is replacement the only solution for a busted set? Want to prepare for the day you might need to replace your TV? Then you\u2019ve come to the right place. <\/p>\n

This definitive guide<\/a> has everything you could possibly need to know! So dive right in below to get started! <\/p>\n

How Often Do People Replace Their TV?<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s tough to determine exactly how often most people tend to replace their TVs. It depends on whether they\u2019re replacing a TV that\u2019s past its best, or replacing a slightly older TV with a shiny new model. <\/p>\n

Most people tend to buy a new TV when their current model begins to show significant signs of wear and tear. TVs generally have a lifespan that can range from 7 to 10 years. As such, people are more likely to buy a new TV every 10 years. <\/p>\n

However, some people may find themselves buying new TVs far more often. Especially if they\u2019re upgrading from a more basic TV to a larger UHD TV with smart features.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text quote_border_color=”#126366″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” ul_font_size=”20px” ul_line_height=”1.7em” quote_font=”|300|||||||” quote_font_size=”22px” quote_line_height=”1.2em” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_line_height=”1.2em” header_4_line_height=”1.2em” header_5_line_height=”1.2em” header_6_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

When Should You Buy A New TV?<\/h2>\n

There is no perfect answer to this question. Whether or not you should buy a new TV simply depends on whether you want one, and when you want one. Let\u2019s say you\u2019ve had the same TV for more than 10 years, and it\u2019s finally starting to show its age. The TV might simply not look as you remember, or it may be totally beyond repair. At this point, it would be recommended to buy a new TV! <\/p>\n

However, on the opposite end of the spectrum, there may come a situation in which you simply want to upgrade to a better TV. You might have only had your current TV for a small number of years, or it may still be in perfect working order, and yet you want to replace it with a more flashy model.<\/p>\n

When you are on the lookout for a new TV, however, there are a few times of year that you should carry out your search! Let\u2019s take a look at them now!<\/p>\n

Black Friday And Cyber Monday<\/h3>\n

Black Friday once used to be a strange curiosity of modern American life that we Brits witnessed from afar. However, in recent years, Black Friday, and its sister holiday Cyber Monday have become worldwide celebrations.<\/p>\n

We\u2019d recommend looking out for a new TV around these days. Even some of the most expensive and advanced TVs will see a significant price drop, so you can save a lot of cash! <\/p>\n

Just make sure to keep in mind that Black Friday and Cyber Monday discounts are extremely popular. You may need to compete with others to take advantage of them!<\/p>\n

Springtime<\/h3>\n

If you want your new TV to be the best of the best, then we\u2019d recommend looking for one around Springtime. Most major manufacturers, from Samsung<\/a> to LG<\/a> release their newer models towards this time of year. To go alongside the launch of their latest models, manufacturers will also often offer immense discounts on some of their older models. If you\u2019ve been waiting to get that one model you\u2019ve had your eye on, then we recommend waiting for the Springtime.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.reliant.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Smart-TV-Power.jpg” alt=”Smart TV” title_text=”Smart TV” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.23″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text quote_border_color=”#126366″ _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” ul_font_size=”20px” ul_line_height=”1.7em” quote_font=”|300|||||||” quote_font_size=”22px” quote_line_height=”1.2em” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_line_height=”1.2em” header_4_line_height=”1.2em” header_5_line_height=”1.2em” header_6_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Repair Or Replace?<\/h2>\n

If you have a TV that is only around 5 years old, you might find yourself wondering whether it\u2019s better to replace it, or instead go for a repair. The answer to this will generally depend on the kinds of problems you\u2019re experiencing.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re experiencing a minor problem, such as a problem with the TV\u2019s remote, then it might be more cost-effective to target the issue with a repair. A TV that is only 5 years old still has many years of mileage left to take advantage of! <\/p>\n

If your TV is more than 10 years old, then a replacement would be a more worthwhile investment. Older TVs are prone to developing new faults. You might fix one problem with a costly repair, but another would likely be just around the corner.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”FAQs” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” ul_font_size=”20px” ul_line_height=”1.7em” quote_font_size=”20px” quote_line_height=”1.2em” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” header_3_line_height=”1.2em” header_4_line_height=”1.2em” header_5_line_height=”1.2em” header_6_line_height=”1.2em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Frequently Asked Questions<\/h3>\n

How Often Do People Buy A New TV?<\/h4>\n

People most often tend to buy new TVs when their current TV is past its best. TVs tend to last for around 10 years. As such, most people tend to buy replacement TVs around every 10 years. However, there are outliers to this. Some people may be more likely to buy new TVs more frequently, especially if they want a new TV with a greater resolution or a better processor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Is It Worth Repairing A 7 Year Old TV?<\/h4>\n

At 7 years old, a TV is well into the later years of its life. At this point, repairing issues would likely be more expensive than simply replacing the TV. You might solve one problem with a 7-year-old TV, only to find a new issue takes its place. At 7, it\u2019s better to opt for a replacement.<\/p>\n

How Many Years Does A Good TV Last?<\/h4>\n

A good TV can easily last more than 10 years if well-maintained and cared for. If you want your TV to last a long time, you\u2019ll want to make sure to take very good care of it. Be sure to perform regular maintenance, and turn your TV whenever it\u2019s not in use.<\/p>\n

What Shortens The Life Of A TV?<\/h4>\n

The life of a TV can easily be shortened by a number of things. Improper care is a particularly strong culprit. You should be sure to care for your TV regualrly. Evne performing a simple dusting task can go a long way to protecting your TV\u2019s longevity. Make sure your TV is also kept in a room with the right conditions.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
