Panasonic PT52DL10 52-Inch DLP HD-Ready Projection TV
Do Not Buy
I purchased this TV in Dec 2001 for $9,000 (+or-). They gave me the floor model for the  upcoming Olympic Games until mine arrived. I paid over $20,000 for an entire system from Tweeter in Dallas. Nothing but problems- receivers, Direct TV and other issues. This TV has been turned on no more than 50 times in 5 years. Every time the system was used there was a problem, but until two weeks ago I had at least a picture. I too, was promised this was simple and time tested- the lamp might have to be replaced in a few years with heavy use. Since I do not watch much TV, I was not concerned. From one expert it is the Color Wheel. I am waiting for two more reports and Tweeter will be out this week to give me their opinion. I have contacted five high end customer service oriented stores in Dallas and they all had horror stories about the problems even the floor models in the showroom. I was informed that this product had been on the market for awhile when I purchased it-not so. Contact me through e-mail if you want more details. I may end up in Small Claims Court (recovery under $10,000). The positive review must have come from Panasonic's public relations Dept.
