I think the question is somewhat valid. A decent quality 32" can be bought for around $300. If you had a faulty TV would you pay somebody $100 to come into your house to look at it? Or even a minimum fee of $75 if you dropped it off at a shop?

Whereas 15 years ago when a 32" TV was over $1000, and somebody could come look at it for $50.

Then how integrated the parts are. I don't know as much about TVs, but with computers so much is attached to the motherboard. So a bad network card can be a MB replacement. Maybe the same with a lot of TVs.
