Is it worth it to repair this TV?

[little wing]

My Sony 950H is about 5 to 6 years old and appears to be in need of major repair. This is what I found in doing some research:

On a Sony X950H, a red light blinking 4 times indicates a hardware fault related to the power supply, the LED backlight strips, or the main board. It is a built-in safety mechanism that trips when there's an electrical short or an overheating/overload issue. I have tried all troubleshooting steps recommended and no go. I'm pissed.. I paid 2.3k for this set, like I said, 5 or 6 years ago. The picture is beautiful. Natural looking skin tones, accurate color, handles motion extremely well, clear and sharp, but fails after 6 years??

Do you guys think it is worth it to repair?
Thanks

No. Probably can't be repaired or likely fail again soon.

Do yourself a favor and get an OLED TV. They have a far better picture and they don't have backlighting, which I understand is a common point of failure. So get an OLED. I have been pleased with my LG.

It seems simple enough. Looks like all you need is a soldering kit and piece of wire. I just don't have any experience at all with this kind of thing. I know I get the TV off the wall first, but looking behind it, I'm not even sure how to get inside the TV to try and locate where this is.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate. I'm not 100% convinced OLEDs are head and shoulders above the best LED sets. My brother has the LG G3, and I've watched plenty of content on it, It has a great picture, but again not head and shoulders of mine.

I watched a demo at best buy of the same scene. LED and OLED side by side. It was a wide dark shot of city lights at night. In the scene was body of water. The OLED's black levels and contrast were better, but the OLED rendered the water completely black where at least the LED showed some texture so you could tell it was actually water, instead of just completely black. I dunno, it just got me thinking..
