I feel the exact same way about my 42" 1080 Sony Bravia. It's heavy as fuck, so I had to hang it on the burliest monitor arm I could find, but it was built like a tank and the picture quality is still great. Bonus - since it's not a flat panel, the built-in speakers are more than decent.

I don't know about new ones, but you're right older Bravias are built like tanks. I got a 40" LED that's, uh, more than 15 years old now. Survived 5 rental moves, covered in nothing but cling wrap and chucked at the back of me car.

I have no idea what to do when it eventually breaks...

I still got mine too, 32" bought in 2012 with my PS3 then. That thing is indestructible, survived 4 years in the army and 3 moves.

My Samsung is a 40". I definitely wish it was bigger but not enough to jump into the smart TV soup.
