I see lots of them for sale on the big seller sites. Slight variations on them depending on the year released. Who knew the displays would last this long? I sure didn't expect that.

Electronics back then cost too much for planned obsolescence. Newer tech is usually made with quality components. I’ve got 12yr+ led/plasma tv’s that still work flawlessly, but my buddy’s 3yr old 4K just died….again!
