SVA HD4208TIII-PDP 42-Inch Flat-Panel Plasma EDTV
2.5 years old and dead in the water
When I bought this TV from BJ's,I paid $2,400 (after $100 refund as the TV's price dropped a week after I got it) in January of 2004. It hasn't given me any trouble except that the remote control never really worked well with it. It always took alot to get the signal into the sensor. Anyway, a few days ago it began making a double clicking noise when I turned it on. Yesterday it just clicked and was dead. After 3 dozen times or so, it finally came on but today when I went to turn it on, the set was completely dead. So, when it worked, it's great, but for that amount of money, I feel it should be lasting alot more then 2.5 years. I have been in the Technical end of the electronics business for 20 years and this leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
