I have to disagree with him - I have a 32 inch Dynex(Best Buy's in-house brand), and it works perfectly fine several months into owning it. Not a single problem. Our 32 inch Vizio that we've had for well over a year is completely fine as well. You just have to find a brand that doesn't cut stuff that's important, I guess.
Well, not all "cheap" electronics are going to break. His argument is that cheap TVs perform badly compared to name brand equivalents, and that IF they break, they're often difficult, if not impossible, to get fixed.
And I'm sure I can find a few people that have a 1995 Ford Escort that's been a great car. But overall, they blow. Don't confuse anecdotes with evidence.
