3) TV price has fallen dramatically in the last few years. Why buy a used one when you can find a new 37'' on sale for 400 or less.

Quite frankly, if I were you, I'd set up the old TV in a spare room. If you have a guest room or a basement, the old TV would make a great addition.
1) Most often the only reason for a LCD's limited lifespan is that the manufacture put in capacitors that are not rated to last very long. They don't want people to keep tv's for 20 years anymore.

2) it's still a 1080P Tv while most tv's at box stores are 720 and I don't believe that HD broadcasting is above 720 at the moment anyways

3) Yes they have

I replaced all the Caps on the power board with better rated caps so it shouldn't be an issue, It hasn't been really watched all that much at all.
