Replace. Repair bill could be large compared to the price of a new TV.

Replacement TVs are dirt cheap, and whatever you buy today will be cheaper and have a better picture than your current TV. I would upgrade in size too...your eyes aren’t getting any stronger...lol

I have owned several Sammy TVs over the years, but frankly their reliability has been “spotty.”

Sony TVs are the only ones I’ve owned that have had impeccable reliability. On the down side, you’re likely to be stuck with it through multiple improvements in television technology...lol
