The PS50700 uses the PTK195 chassis. This is a very good and reliable chassis. The only thing that I see them needing repair for are shorted high voltage flyback transformers. They are easily replaced, but the life of the set depends on the picture tubes. I would say you will get at least 15 years of good use out of that set.

Hello
The average life expetancey will be related to the working hours of the TV. Normally CRTs are expected to work perfectly for 10,000 [Ten thousand] continuous hours. Even though they may actually work more than this time period, the focus and screen clarity will degrade with time. OK.

Television began making a loud audio noise and the picture went purple

Does your TV make a "whining, whirling, clicking, or humming noise?" If the TV have the infamous blinking lights problem , it's most likely a problem with your color wheel. The Samsung BP96-00674A color wheels spin anywhere from 6,000 to 15,000 revolutions per minute (RPM’s)--It is one of the few consumable parts in your Samsung TV. The average life expectancy from our data logging shows the Samsung color wheels are fairly reliable with a MEAN average of 5-8 years. Its basically in charge of creating the colors .God bless you here;s how to take it out and replace it: http://guides.fixyourdlp.com/samsung/bp96-01579a.php
