I've seen TV's that lasted a decade or more, you could practically throw a Trinitron down a flight of stairs, turn it on and it would go (that's an exaggeration but you get the point), now the plastics seem light and too flexible, I just don't get the same sense of quality from them anymore.
To be fair they did come out and give me a new one, installed, old one carted away, the whole works.

You are absolutely right, about 5-6 years ago I started to notice this, and unfortunately it seems to be getting worse. I thought the whole Samsung capacitor nightmare from a couple of years ago would have changed this....
