Design Flaw?.......2004-06-26

This one broke after 4 years of use........2000-12-06
After 4 years of use it developed a problem in which the picture was blurry and made sizzling sounds for about 20 minutes each time the unit was turned on (when completely cooled off before turning on).
I brought it to the repair place and they fixed it but the problem still occurred, but after being repaired the blurry picture only lasted for about 5 minutes instead of 20 minutes. They fixed it again a 2nd time, and the picture did still appear a little blurry the first minute or so, but I didn't return it and eventually the problem went away.
Now, suddenly, less than 2 months after it was repaired, the unit is completely dead. I'm gonna get the repair place to work on it again, since they have a 60 day warrantee on their repair work.
Anyway, while I did get use out of it, and it might be possible the repair place can still fix it again, I'm not happy that the unit broke after only 4 years. This seems a bit soon for me. Most other TVs have lasted much longer, but maybe I've just been lucky until now. My impression is that a TV should last at least 7 or 8 years.
I'm interested if anyone else has found this TV to only last for a relatively short lifespan. Keep in mind that although this is a portable, it has been kept stationary on my desk, so it has not been subject to any wear and tear normally associated with portables.
