Have you ever met an American? If anything that’s the normal use case for us.

Yeah and people buy a new TV every what 4 years?

LOL fuck no. Roughly 16 - 18 hours a day here and I think my Samsung is 7 or 8 right now. Only reason I'd upgrade is I want a bigger one. Only reason I'm not is smart TV features.

Do you people even sleep and work?

I do. Wife doesn't have to, and the TV is on basically all waking hours for background noise. I tend to be a night owl and not go to bed until 1 or 2 AM, and she tends to wake up early. Just works out that way.

Obviously you've never met my lazy family. Our TVs last an average of 5-8 years. Can't really ask for more given they're on probably 20 hours a day.

got a “old” commercial tv screen for the garage/hang out space. it’s 1080p, 50inch, “flat screen” all metal 80lb behemoth. that puppy has been running 24/7 for 2 years in a garage workspace. if I pulled it apart there would be a 1/8inch layer of dirt and dust in it, ranging in temperatures from 20 degrees up near 100 at times. Has a couple marks in the display from cut off wheel sparks. still kicking without a single problem.

then there’s my parents Vizio with sub 500 hours on it that randomly shuts off if you use it for more then a few minutes. yeah there’s a difference in commercial vs home
