Depends on the model and type. My analog TV (27") just died at 15 years old. Nice thing is that's it's repairable and I happen to be a retiring TV tech. For digital, that varies greatly. Sometimes only a few months before they start developing problems to a couple of years on the average.

Research as to how long a television flat screen lasts tends to show various opinions. In general one should last 4 to 10 years. Often if it is a quality brand it may last a little longer due to using quality components in the televisions.

It really depends how you take care of it. If you take care of it then on average it will last about 7 years.

A Toshiba TV will almost always last as long as any TV out there if you look after it (Ive seen some TV's last 20 year's).

They usually last a couple of years, a way you can tell its going bad is if the screen starts flickering in a select spot on the screen.

Does the conjunction 'and' need a comma?

The use of 'and' does not necessarily require a comma, although in many cases using a comma makes sense. Composing 'list' sentences generally involve the word 'and' with a comma joining the last item in the list with the rest. Example: "The newlyweds received linens, kitchen appliances, towels, pots and pans, gift certificates, and a flat-screen television as wedding gifts." Note in the example TWO uses of 'and.' The first, connecting 'pots' and 'pans,' clearly does not need a comma; the second, connecting the flat-screen TV to the rest of the goodies, does.

If you stay at forty or under for a screen size, the television should last a good long while, however, some of the larger sizes are made to fail so they keep you coming back in. I've heard every excuse too, it won't happen again, you should get a smaller one....Be careful and don't get had.


What happens when you put on the TV?

If you mean, "What happens when you turn on the TV?" then here it what happens. The TV screen lights up and whatever channel you left it on when you last turned it off, it will still be on. People on the screen will start talking. Channel numbers for people who don't have cable are all decimals. For example, channel 7.1.
