Is It Worth It to Repair My TV? A Guide from Hugo’s TV in Albuquerque
Before finding out whether it is advisable to repair or replace your TV, it is important to know what causes TVs to develop problems. Common issues include:
- Dead pixels or screen damage
- Power supply problems
- Software glitches or firmware errors
- Backlight failures (dim or no picture)
- HDMI port malynomials
- Audio problems
While some of these problems may seem intimidating, surprisingly, many are quite simple—and inexpensive to fix with the right know-how. And there you have it! Hugo’s has been in business for decades serving Albuquerque and its people, and our personnel are trained to the highest standard in diagnosing and fixing all manner of TVs, no matter their age or technology. LED, 4K UHD Smart TVs, OLED TVs, LCD TVs – name it, and we can fix it.
When Is It Worth Repairing Your TV?
Here are some key factors to consider before deciding whether to repair or replace your TV:
1. Age of the TV
In most cases, it is better to repair a TV that is not very old (five years old or less). Today’s TVs are built to last longer and repair can greatly increase their useful life. However, if your TV is more than 8 – 10 years old, then it may be more reasonable to change it since parts for older TVs can be hard to find.
2. The Cost of the Repair as Opposed to the Cost of a New TV
One of the biggest questions people ask is: “Will I be saving money by having my TV repaired as opposed to buying a new one?” The answer depends on the issue. Small repairs, such as changing fuses, replacing HDMI ports, or fixing software problems, are much cheaper than buying a new TV.
