From my own experience, that sounds about right for a lcd/led tv. I have a Samsung, and they're generally well regarded. Mine has had two brushes with mortality. The first and worst was the channels wouldn't tune in or show a picture. I found a local electronic repair that specialized in these tv's. A little over $100 saved me from going out and plunking down a half grand or so replacement. The second glitch was the volume control would go haywire and the sound would go up and down all by itself. Looking on YouTube there was a fix by opening up the tv and disconnecting a wire. So, my advise is, don't throw a great amount of money into one of these things at the get go. And when something crops up, check out some reasonable interventions to fix it. Obsolescence seems to be part of the ownership these days.
