My 2005' 42" viera died 4 years ago. 6 years ago it developed problem of blacking the screen in the middle of work that required disconnecting the unit from the wall and than connecting it back till it won't ever came back. Blown digital board itself is $250 new $175 reman-d. Work to replace it isn't easy and paying someone off to do that job isn't worth it. Nice 6yo plasma junk. Statistically it happens nearly to every 3rd unit.
Switched back to 2002 CRT Sony XBR 32" and still don't look any further.
