"Some customers complain at paying £30-40 to have their set repaired, even if it is less than 5 years old, how things have changed..." Hi Mark, Agreed. £40 is about the maximum figure I can ask for to fix any LCD TV. It's worth bearing in mind that some garages charge £100 per hour to service cars.
Also, LCD sets are pretty reliable anyway so that'll be the reason why so there are so few enquiries about repairs.
The last CRT sets were pretty horrible, when did you see a Vestel 11AK47 model. It's ages since I was asked to fix a CRT set.
