How old is your flatscreen TV?

My 12 year old Sony KDF-E42A10 42-Inch LCD Rear Projection Television is still used almost daily and is working fine. I had to install a new bulb ($60) about 2 years ago. When I bought the TV, saw many reviews saying it was a good TV, but the bulb would only last 3-5 years and the bulb cost was $250. My bulb lasted 10 years.

I'm pretty sure that was the model of our first flat screen, bought at Circuit City in 2005. I think we paid around $1,500 for it. Ours developed a weird splotching problem that was apparently common in those models. That was probably 5 or 6 years ago, so it lasted about 6 years. We sold it to someone who wanted a super cheap tv for his workout room and didn't care if the picture was off. We have 3 flat screens now, a 42" LG, a 42" Samsung and a 39" Vizio. The newest is maybe 5 years old. I may upgrade the one in my man-cave to a 4K TV this year, but I don't really watch a lot of TV.
