:iagree:

Just astounding a 3 year old flagship model TV with the highest rated reviews for plasma and personally owning an Panasonic TV still going 15+ yrs strong would die on me like this. Customer service was a complete joke and basically laughed at me since it's out of warranty. I use to have high regards for Panasonic TV's. Seems now that everything is complete junk. I'll just go get one of the cheap $1,000 vizios who's parts costs pennies when something breaks.

dude. dude. dude. --eastwest

holy smokes... my reps are worth 30pts each.

Just feel like smashing something. No reasonable thought can be produced at 8 in the morning on a freaking Friday. WHY COULDN'T THE CIVIC EXPLODE!?!?!?!?!?!

some people get rep'd by me get an addition of 60 points each day....

dude.

thanks for the rep.

my list is good.

:shakes head:

Drive to bad part of town. Leave keys on dashboard. Lock car (so insurance will pay) and walk away. That **** will be in a chop shop before you can finish the call to the police* :tup:





*Please don't do this*

And I thank you.

That sucks.

I live in Central NY. I am surrounded by farmers and tweens still humping twilight logic. My bad areas consist of kids doing the pot, black guys reading in coffee shops, asians speaking american fluently, white people being more southern then Florida, and a million other racist remarks. I can't even tell you the last time I even heard of a car jacking or one being stolen here in Rome.

I've never found Panasonic to have good quality, growing up we had a tube Panasonic that would crap put every 8months or so. My dad fixed it twice then put it in the dumpster where it belonged after 2years. my father in law still has a plasma and it does produce a great picture but you guessed it, it's had issues along the way (extended warranty repairs). It's also not a smart tv so he's committed it to the trash next time it goes out

In the LCD world, Panasonic TV's are not a contender and probabaly hard for you to believe but Vizio is probably better than anything Panasonic now. Regardless, buy a mid level 4k Samsung smart TV, they are the best (I'm a former Sony guy). They have decent specs and mine have been troublefree. Pretty affordable too ($1500 - $2000)
