Time for a New TV

I wasn't sure how long we've had our current television and I just looked at the back panel on this Toshiba flat screen TV and saw a stamp for October 2008 so that was when it was manufactured or put on the market. We've had this TV for thirteen years.

For the past couple of months it started to display broken lines on the right side of the screen that would last about ten minutes before going back to normal. When it is doing that line thing it is almost impossible to watch and at some moments it is rather comical in the distortion. 

We put up with it for a couple of weeks hoping it would go back to normal but we soon decided to get a new television and began researching what to get next. However, we had a lot going on and didn't find the time to go out shopping. It wasn't critical because we would just turn on the television, walk away for a while and then sit down to watch after the broken lines went away.

We're going to Philadelphia for ten days and we will deal with the television problem when we get back. I'm looking forward to getting one of those new smart TVs.
