Also asked, how long should an LED TV last?

Also, how often should you replace your TV? We estimate that today's household replaces it's TV set every four to five years. If TVs continue to get bigger, better and significantly cheaper, we estimate that people will replace them more often," Retrevo spokesperson Jennifer Jacobson wrote in an email.

Dead pixels are a sign that the LCD grid is reaching the end of its useful life. Dead pixels will appear as dark specks much the same on a cellular phone or portable music player. Some dead pixels can also appear as white specks on a dark background, and may even have some color to them.
Is it worth fixing a TV?
On the average flat-screen TV, repair of a cracked screen is one of the highest-cost repairs. Usually, on all but the biggest screens, it is more than the cost of a replacement TV. The screen of a larger TV costs more to replace, but the TVs themselves are higher-priced as well, so it may still work to your advantage.
