Have had a Panasonic TX-P42ST50 since July 2012 in the main bedroom. There's also an old Panny Th-37p we've had for some years - now lurking in the back bedroom.
The living room's old faithful Philips PW9763/25 CRT (and what an achievement that set was: 100hz, pixel plus, natural motion, 3 line comb filter, twin tuner, pic in pic, strobe, zoom, 92 watts rms full surround 9 speakers in set, inc massive sub, twin tweeter, plus infra red rear speakers.) finally blew her tube after 15 years of flawless work (n.b only B & O stock tubes - bought from Philips - now and they are an arm and a leg).
Replacement arrives this week: Panasonic TX-P50VT65B plasma.
That should see us well into OLED being made to work and have longevity too at a reasonable cost.
To those who spout the party line that 'you get what you pay for' and LCD is better - You have just fallen for the BS big time.
That was always plasma's problem: too many disbelievers all too ready to condemn something they neither know nor understand properly.
