Yes, it makes perfect sense for them to design something like that from an obselescence standpoint. It's just their way of insuring that the set will be rendered non-operational in a few years. I would not buy a current Philips product, either. I was not impressed with the quality of the few post 2000 model Philips TV's that I've seen. I did come close to buying a Philips CD recorder. That is until I read all the negative reviews on the thing. The NAP (Magnavox, Philco, Sylvania) TV's of the '80's and '90's were pretty good quality. I still see many '90's era Philips-Magnavox sets that only need minor repairs to get them going again.
