I would start with Sanyo but perhaps get some info from consumer
affairs first (Department of Consumer and Employment Protection)to see
what exactly your position is.

As Terry said 15months is not an acceptable expected lifetime for such
a product. Sanyo should repair or replace it for you.

You can check the price of electronic gear (including TVs) and get a broad
range of prices for the same product. Most people will choose the cheapest
price.

The reason why consumers don't spend $400 is that they usually have no way
of knowing whether that $400 product is any better than the $199 product.
And, in many cases, the $400 product is just a rip-off.
