Panasonic PT-50LC14 50" Widescreen HD-Ready Television
Burns Light Bulbs
I purchased the TV (50LC13) Sep 2003.  First light bulb blew in about 3 months, the second took 16 months, the third about 4 months later. Yes, three lights bulbs blew out during the first 24 months.  The bulbs cost $300 each.  The extended warranty paid for the light bulbs, but everytime it happens I am without the TV for 2 or more weeks. When the TV is working it is great (4 - 5 stars). After the warranty runs out and I start paying for the bulbs I will probably give it away and let someone else pay for the bulbs.
