my 32 inch Sony HD ready TV worked 4 year perfectly and from 4th year, Panel issue start coming and in the 6th year, completely died.
my next 32 inch Samsung HD ready tv worked perfectly 2 years and it's 3rd year now, already 3 times motherboard got damaged. luckily I have extended warranty service and 2 times it got replaced free of cost, now waiting for 3rd time replacement of motherboard.
I think my luck with branded TV not that great. My tv consuming hardly 1-2 hours at night and that too without DTH but still My bad luck continuing.
