I wouldn't spend more if I could spend less just to watch Coronation Street for an hour after work before bed though, and a bit of morning television.

It is mostly hardware faults, commonly power supply. I hear what you say about numbers, but these sets are failing a year or two from date of purchase. That just doesn't happen with LG and Samsung.
As for multi year guarantees... EVERY TV has a six year warranty against inherent defects, it's the law.

I have an old (2009 I think) Panasonic Viera, 47 inch I think
It has large bezels and doesn't look modern, however the thought of replacing fills me with dread, it was eye wateringly expensive and I would need something of a similar spec
I have compared to modern options, and pre oled the blacks did not compare

It's the same with everything now days though. Look at any Facebook page dedicated to a specific car and there are reams of complaints of vehicles failing under warranty.

Me pretty much every time we get something in at work to assess/mod/fix/make do what it says it shouldThe missus gets the arsx when I start ranting about the poor design and how could something so crap be signed off for production,
Only because when it works you don't go looking for pages to say how it is continuing to behave as a car - how many pages about anything do you see proclaiming something is simply continuing to do the job you bought it for?
What do you mean by inherent defects being covered for 6 years? Screen burn on oled hasn't been covered at any age for years and is only starting to be covered now.
In oled panasonic, philips and sony all use the lg panel so they couldn't be rubbish.
If its a low end tv your getting it wont matter much what it is.
55 inch is the sweet spot for good tvs.
Samsung qled for a bright room or any of the top end led otherwise.
If you watch a good TV for a while in 4k on netflix etc with good soundbar and then go to someone else's house with a small old TV it shocking the difference.
Richer sounds give 6 years warranty and have good advice. You'll find a lot of other sellers like currys etc will have every excuse in the book not to cover warranty.

I understand that but the point I was making is that there are consistent problems with everything. Be it a tv or a car. It's cheaper to just replace the ones that fail than to increase the quality of every single unit. I bet the acceptable failure rate is surprisingly high.
I thought panasonic only used vestel for their worst tvs to compete with price. Any of the big brands decent tvs will be good for anyone.
I have sonys top led and its flawless.
It is superfast, menus are instant, and smart end is easily as good as firestick. Its picture is brilliant. Motion is good and 4k is amazing detail.
Sonys picture quality is one of the best on the market.

Read the legislation for yourself, don't take my word for it.

That used to be the case, anything above 42" was genuine. However my supplier struggles to get me anything bar LG and Samsung because they know I will not stock Vestel.
Does sony and philips and Panasonic not use lg panels for oled

But those big brands do not exist, which is what most of this thread has been about; they are merely badges on the same tat as supermarket brands.

That definitely used to be the case, but nowadays everything comes from Vestel, right down to the cardboard box.
If that's the case then why is av forum covered with screen burn problems and customers not getting it covered. Sellers specifically says screen burn is not covered under warranty

Then it is likely that you have an older and so genuine Sony. You can no longer get something that operates as you describe. However the Rootkit scandal clearly doesn't bother you, like it appalls me.
