How did your TV fail to work anymore? Did it just go blank or did it start to show signs of failing? Also what brand was it an how old was it?
 

One such television we had (a Panasonic) started displaying a greenish hue in one corner.

Another television we had (a Sanyo) just went dark with lines through the screen.

Panasonic was 12 years old (approx.), while the Sanyo was just a handful of years old, like maybe 7.
 

Old tube tv's picture went blank or white line in middle.

Haven't had a monitor or flat screen fail although they have given me trouble. It's seems like they process a command or picture like old school dial up modems.

Just like a computer a big factor is keep them cool which also means dust with a vacuum on occassion so the dust doesn't build a layer and hold heat.
 
Sanyo LCD. Screen started turning black in places. I could fix it by bending it but after a while black mostly covered the screen and my son bought me a new LED. My neighbor hauled it to the recycler for me.
 
I only had one TV that actually "died." It was a 27" Toshiba - the largest you could get at the time. It didn't exactly die; the screen would sometimes turn a bright orange & when I'd hit the side of the TV, it would work fine until the next day. I replaced it with a Sony Trinitron & after the digital change, I replaced it with a Sony digital TV. I still have the Trinitron in my closet.
