Well I bought a Panasonic 61 inch projecter in Jan of 2008. The bulb has gone out three times now. The warranty for this ends Jan 2012. I have a standing offer from Panasonic to reimburse me for $500 or fix the bulb for free (but will do no more in the future).

They also have offered me a 50 inch plasma for approximately $375 more in cash. Tough calls here. Just wondering if anyone has any tube that they just love.

Thanks in advance for any responses.


We have a 50" Panasonic plasma. Ours has been trouble free for over four years. Daughter/son-in-law have a 50" Panasonic plasma, also. They've had no issues in over five years. We're both pleased with the picture and the performance of these sets. You can pick up 720p sets like these now for approx. $700 at Costco. If you want the full 1080p sets, you'll pay a bit more. Costco gives you an extra year warranty on any TV you purchase at their store. I'd take the $500 reimbursement and go shopping.
