depends on brand too. Stay away from mitashi, koryo and such tubelight brands ;)

Sony, Samsung, LG are the brands to stick to. They will last for a long time :)

No doubt CRT TV is cheap and repaireable and repair cost is less comparing to LCD TV. LCD parts are very expensive and some time not repaireable. LCD is only having LCD Panel, Display Card, Power Supply Circuit and LCD Body. If you LCD Screen goes faulty, never think about repair. !!!

the repairman can be termed 'ignorant fool' not because he said that, but because he GENERALISED it. yes sure, many people have faced this issue of their LCD TV panel going kaput within an year (samsung, to name one of the brands), and again, gone are those days when TV manufacturers used to make TVs that could last 15-20 yrs or more. the tech is evolving rapidly, and the manufacturer wont like you to stick with just one LCD for long, which will be a dent to his business, and hence quality is being compromised for quantity. also, you wont get those 'truer-to-life' blacks, near-natural colours on an LCD TV which you get on a CRT TV, superfast response times, etc, BUT, the picture processing power, the contrast, the rich colour depth (though unnatural), multimedia interface, etc (and also energy savings) that you get with an LCD panel simply cant be ignored ! and yes, if you research properly and buy an LCD TV, use it with proper care, you can rest assured that its going to serve you well for quite some time to come.

and you have a better place at forums to get suggestions and discuss than heeding an ill-advise given by a TV repairman ;)

CRT maintenance/repairing cost is way cheaper when compared to LCDs and also they have a longer life then CRTs but it is not like that the LCDs would last for only 1yr.
I totally agree with what Amit said above.
LCD need more care then CRT and one need to buy a LCD of good brand as brand matters a lot as said guru_urug
