> Why would I expect a 500$ TV to last less than 2 years?
My point was specifically a $500 TV that was 80" and OLED.
If all the current models with that specification are up around $5,000 - $10,000 or higher, and there is a model that sells for 1/10th the average price. An argument could be made that you could expect that might not last as long as one ten times higher.
The law is intentionally vague about time limits. "One could expect that a TV that costs ten times less than all the other competition, may not be built to the same quality as all the others which are much more expensive". There still isn't a specific time limit though.
And if it did fail within 2 years then you could probably make the argument that you expect a TV to last longer than 2 years.
To put the argument a different way - If you compare $5 kitchen knives at the local discount store vs $250 Japanese steel chef knives. You'd expect the $200 knives to last longer. As to how much longer, that's up to the person making the warranty complaint.
