GoKawiilGuide: Repurpose, donate or repair old TVs instead of discarding them
A new consumer guide notes that TVs typically last 6 to 8 years before being replaced for bigger screens or better resolution, even though they often still work. It suggests donating old sets, repurposing them as monitors or gaming displays, or using streaming devices like Fire Stick or Apple TV 4K to restore smart features once firmware updates stop after 4 to 7 years.
