Tvs and Warranties

Significantly transfer the financial embarrassment back to the shysters that sold the clearly quality&durability-lacking prematurely-failed product to you.
If the merchant was AO, it will normally and hilariously attempt to sell you a post-purchase extended warranty to cover the repair that AO is statute-obligated to provide.

Laugh in AOs face by presenting your Consumer Rights Act claim; maybe start by completing this template:
which.co.uk/con…ced

The merchant may ask you to provide a credible report than the issue is a genuine fault rather than being related to damage caused by your vicious pet goldfish whilst it was chasing your TV around the garden. Go with the flow and agree, but first remind AO that the report cost will be added to your claim, as provided by the legislation.
There will be some greasy-shoulder maneuvering from AO but when your claim (without/with report) eventually lands on the desk of someone at AO that knows the score it will be sorted.

AO courteously references this legislation on its t&c webpage and it is usually gloriously enjoyable to refer AOs not-so-sharp CS to it:

3. If you find a fault 6 months after delivery and you’re able to prove that the fault/defect was there when we delivered it, we’ll offer the same resolution mentioned in point 2.

Most not-so-sharp CS jockies tend to go a little quiet when the cause of the fault is presented to them, where the fault that ticks the CRA-eligibility box will be:

lack of durability on the day of delivery, because if the product had adequate durability on the day of delivery it wouldn't now be busted, wuddit?

and that's when the buy-a-post-purchase-warranty hilarity is brought to the table.
Muppets.

You have 6 years to present your claim, unless you live in Scotland, but the sooner you present it the greater the value of the claim.

Costco do 5 years and seemingly no questions asked in my experience.

If you don’t have a membership card for the warehouses it’s £15 to buy an online membership - And unlike the warehouse memberships, anyone can qualify for an online one.

@Catman69
Email Philips maybe?
Explain to them that you'd expect 5 years out of a TV and it hasn't had heavy use?
May be worth a try

How much did your old Philips TV cost?

Depending on how much it cost, I would expect it to last longer than just over 2yrs and, as such, would look at pursuing your consumer rights with regards to this.

@AndyRoyd is very knowledgeable with regards to these matters and could advise.
