Panasonic PT-50LC13 50-Inch TheaterWide HDTV-Ready Projection LCD TV
Bulb Issues Here as Well
When it works, it is great.  The picture is amazing, it is relatively user friendly and I love the Split Screen feature.  However.....we bought the TV in Sept. 2003 and the first bulb blew in Aug. 2004.  With considerable effort on our part, Panasonic finally replaced the bulb at no cost.  Bulb blew again in Sept. 2005.  We missed the one year warranty by about six weeks so we had to pay $300 for a new bulb.  We did call the Customer Service department when the second bulb blew and they admitted the bulbs were \\"defective\\" and that that bulb life of 10,000 hours is misrepresented, though they obviously didn't feel inclined to replace our second bulb again at no cost.  This will be the last Panasonic item we purchase.
