We bought this tv back in 2006, have used it every day for HOURS on end (the model with the heart and speakers on top). This has been our "living room tv" for 6 years and has just recently started having problems (fuzzy area near top of screen that just appeared this week, as we are headed into our seventh year of owning this particular model). It has definitely outlasted my expectations, especially since it is only a 13 inch screen (also taking into account that we used it way more often than we probably should have). This is a quality product and I will be purchasing another one once this one dies completely on us.
