Plasma owners any problems??

It seems you hear all the things that are wrong with Plasmas but I feel they are close to a direct view screen as one can get. I am looking at the Panasonic Onyx and the Pioneer Elite as my choice. Before I plop the plastic, has anyone had issues from thier plasma Tv? Noise, pixle failure, etc. Appreciate any input.

Thanks for the input. All positive to boot. I guess I had better take the plunge. Waiting till T Day when they usually have the best sales.
Again thanks.

No problems with an NEC 42" HD. Be sure to "break-in" the set for the first 200 hrs. properly. (NEC manual details this)

My friend's first generation JVC plasma broke down recently, one strip of bad pixels developed over time and has grown considerably larger since. Just imagine someone put a 2" tape on the screen, but lucky it's outside the 4:3 screen and only visible when watching HD materials.

My mom's Samsung plasma went dead due to bad power supply. A quick fix and it's back online.

My NEC plasma is trouble free after 2 years of service, but then I only watch 2 hours of TV a week top.

On the other hand, my Sony LCD rear projection GWIV has 3 stuck pixels since day one and lots of people have issue with the LCD panels especially on GWIII.
