My Experience: Picture was pretty nice while the TV lasted, but after only 2years and 2months it just stopped working. We watch TV an average amount, about 2 hours a day and sometimes a little more on the weekends and it was totally disheartening when this TV just stopped working. Repairman came out (costing $80) and said that the SC board is burned out (he thinks) and it's going to cost $382 to repair. Call me crazy, but this should NOT happen to a $1000 purchase! Panasonic will not do anything to help remedy the situation. I searched online and found a lot of forums and sites where people have noted that they have had similar problems with their Panasonic Plasma TVs. Needless to say, I have another Panasonic plasma TV slated for that Panasonic graveyard. I am just going to put my money into another brand product and will never purchase another Panasonic product again.
Problems: SC board burned out after only 2years and 2 months. Google "Panasonic plasma TV problems" before buying any Panasonic and you'll see that these things don't last over 3 years and if they do, you are LUCKY! Bottom line is don't pay your hard earned $1000 or more on a Panasonic and don't believe the hype that it's a reliable product! It's not. |
