Unreliable circuitry1207374621

Pros:

Good color quality (when it worked)

Cons:

Only worked for 40 days

Purchased the 50" plasma from Best Buy in January of 2008. Forty days later it quit working. The TV has been inoperative for five weeks with no estimated date of repair or replacement in-sight. Panasonic's Concierge warranty department has been a major disappointment. Thus far, they have been long on excuses and short on action. Worse yet is Panasonic's contract repair facility.
They are inexperienced, inept or indifferent. And quite possibly, they are all three. Other people who purchased Panasonic plasma sets from the same store at the same time are experiencing the same problem(s). Consumer Reports rated the Panasonic Plasma TV highly, but it hasn't lived up to the hype. Be aware of bad circuitry in Panasonic plasma TV's.
