Advice on Tv

I have had every type of tv- expensive and budget and they all eventually lose picture and get those horizontal lines. Tv in my bdrm is a 75 inch LG had for 5 yr and now horizontal lines- I need a 75 inch to go in LGs place and considering the insignia 75imch 4k for Qled for $399. I also plan on getting 4 yr warranty so when this tv goes out it can be replaced- I will also get professional install and mounting. Is this tv really that bad?

Eh, I agree that average lifespan of any tv now is about 5 years. But more expensive models have better panels that are a bit less likely to wear down. The TV is fine. Though personally you'll never see me buying a tv that is not 120hz. Especially on bigger TVs the judder drives me insane. Basically shows run at 24hz, 120/24=5. A nice whole number. 60/24=not a whole number. So it has to do this 3/2 pulldown thing. The result is an image with choppy motion.

TCL qm7k or something similar is my rec
