Our Biggest Test Yet: Longevity Testing of 100 TVs!

We’ve bought and tested more than 375 TVs over the past nine years with our goal of helping you find the best one for your needs. We keep the TVs in our lab until they’re no longer popular, comparing and retesting them with major firmware updates and newer test methodologies. It keeps our reviews in the best state for when you buy a TV.

Despite all this, there’s a huge hole in our reviews—a fundamental flaw we haven’t been able to fix. Today we’re changing that with the biggest test we’ve ever done. And the goal of it is to answer what seems like a simple question—how long can I expect my new TV to last?
