Review: They'll have to pry my Panasonic Plasma from my cold, dead arms!! Incredible picture, had the thing two years, use WII, PS2, watch it quite a bit since someone is always home and it hasnt given us a moments trouble. Great picture. I need a larger tv for an upcoming family room addition - I'd love to buy an LCD as you can get a better deal on one... but the Panasonic plasmas are such a beautiful TV... dont think I can migrate away.

Review: I would never take an LCD over a plasma. Most LCD makers refuse to warranty repair sets with up to five percent defective pixels -- which show up as blazing points of white light on your screen. They say bad pixels are "normal", which is like Ford saying three tires that hold air are enough.

Review: Xenon & Neon gas seepage was the problem with the first plasma sets--and it was found that the problem was in the assembly process. $450 bulbs burning out prematurely is the main drawback to rear projection. That's why there's a cooling fan with a time delay after the set is turned off. Plasma needs to get cheaper still before the average working class family can afford one.

Review: I don't believe that a plasma screen could last for 60,000 hours. That would mean if you played the TV five hours a day it would last 32 years. Not likely. Plasma technology has setbacks such as high glare, double images from an angle, and burn in potential. Plasma may well go the way of the VHS tape.

Review: You had an early generation plasma. It had problems. That's in the past now. Samsung, I believe, is quoting 60,000 hour lifetimes. Pixel shift keeps certain cells from burning in (or out). I'm still undecided on LCD or plasma.

Review: I had a plasma. It ran hot and than burned out. Afterwards, I found out on the Web that plasma's expected life is only around five years. Bought an LCD projection TV and have had no problems for two years so far.
