I haven't bought that many televisions in my life but I still have the
32" Sony I bought in 2008 and it works perfectly. The Sony laptop I
bought in 2010 wasn't all too powerful, but it never failed on me (even
though its hard disk did). Even the Playstation 3 I eventually bought
because the Xbox 360 kept dying (I bought five in the span of four
years) never died. The result is that in addition to the 75" Sony and
the 32" Sony, I bought a 40" Sony. Unlike other brands, their quality is
not questionable.

That wasn't my experience with a Sony DVD player. I replaced it with a LG
that was still performing well the last time I used it. otoh I never had a
problem with the Xbox 360.

I bought a Philips DVD player because it was easy to program it to play DVDs
from any region in the world. My wife and I liked "Man from Snowy River" and
its sequel, but Disney had the rights to distribute the sequel "Return of
the Man from Snowy River" and they only released a full screen, edited
version of it in the U.S. (A big part of these movies is the Australian
scenery.) So I bought a set of DVDs from Australia from the original company
that made the moves. I think that, and Ladayhawke, are the only two non-U.S.
region DVDs I've bought, but that was the reason for the Philips. (Hardly
ever used now.)
