It has been going on in electronics for decades and is not something unigue to televisions. I rememeber sitting in on Teledyne Olson Electronic meetings and hearing the company tell salespersons no replacement parts are available for their store brands. If it dies within the warranty, check with the service department as to availability of parts but more likely than not, take it back in exchange for another Olson unit of the same price or more but the warranty will only be the remainder of the 1st unit's warranty and if the customer brings it in after the warranty, take it in but most likely you'll need to offer a tradein b/c the parts are not available and they had a schedule of trade in values for each piece against another of the same value or more expensive that never dipped into their profits. In Massachsetts there was an investigation and Olson simply shut down the stores and moved out shafting everyone.
