GE 5GP009 5" AC/DC Spacemaker TV
This one broke after 4 years of use.
This one originally worked pretty well for the purpose being able to watch TV while working on my computer.  I had a set top box connected to the antenna input and was able to watch cable if I tuned it to channel 3.<br />After 4 years of use it developed a problem in which the picture was blurry and made sizzling sounds for about 20 minutes each time the unit was turned on (when completely cooled off before turning on).  <br />I brought it to the repair place and they fixed it but the problem still occurred, but after being repaired the blurry picture only lasted for about 5 minutes instead of 20 minutes.  They fixed it again a 2nd time, and the picture did still appear a little blurry the first minute or so, but I didn't return it and eventually the problem went away.<br />Now, suddenly, less than 2 months after it was repaired, the unit is completely dead.  I'm gonna get the repair place to work on it again, since they have a 60 day warrantee on their repair work.<br />Anyway, while I did get use out of it, and it might be possible the repair place can still fix it again, I'm not happy that the unit broke after only 4 years.  This seems a bit soon for me.  Most other TVs have lasted much longer, but maybe I've just been lucky until now.  My impression is that a TV should last at least 7 or 8 years.<br />I'm interested if anyone else has found this TV to only last for a relatively short lifespan.  Keep in mind that although this is a portable, it has been kept stationary on my desk, so it has not been subject to any wear and tear normally associated with portables.
