Panasonic PT-50LC13 50-Inch TheaterWide HDTV-Ready Projection LCD TV
Excellent TV. No problems after 1.5 years
Looking at all the reviews, it would seem like this is a very unreliable TV. However, after 1.5 years of HEAVY usage, I have never ever had any problems with it.  <br /> <br />I would like to make a couple of suggestions to people using this TV.  <br /> <br />- When powering off the TV, DO NOT TURN THE MAINS OFF. The bulb uses a fan to cool off. If you turn the mains off, while the bulb has not cooled, you will shorten the bulb life VERY SIGNIFICANTLY. This is a known issue with all LCD projection TVs, maybe its more severe with this particular TV. <br /> <br />- After turning the TV off, do not turn it back on immediately. Wait till the red blinking light stops blinking. <br /> <br />Other than that, maybe I am just plain lucky.
