Not sure what quality TV's you were buying. I still have my Sony Trinitron from the 90's (working in office), weighs 40kg and takes up too much room but can't bring myself to throw it away. I still have my first Panasonic Plasma (at my mothers now) purchased just prior to 2000, still have my Samsung and my newer Panasonic plasma, the only TV I have that died was a Panasonic plasma when my house got hit by lightning.
regardless the reality is planned obsolescence is a necessary evil, without you will need to pay a much higher price for items as with the cost of research means profit margins would need to be much much higher.
