- jfengel 5y agoI recall CRT TVs being extremely unreliable. We had to take ours into the shop all the time, especially in the 70s and 80s. As I recall, they were becoming more reliable in the 90s, and I rarely had to have mine serviced. But my current TV (a plasma TV) is 10 years old with no servicing at all. Perhaps I just got lucky with my Panasonic? To be sure, when it does have a problem, it will certainly be unrepairable. But while flat screen TVs are nearly impossible to repair, they seem very reliable to me, perhaps because they're solid-state.
