Panasonic Plasma TC-P65ZT60 and TC-P65ZT60 usage hours?

Question? - Panasonic plasma. TC-P65ZT60 and TC-P65VT60. I know you can check the usage hours and counts (power on) by going into the Service Mode in the SRV-TOOL area. I also saw where you can check usage hours by going into the menu, Menu-Help-Version-Status 4. The Status 4 line is suppose to show usage hours. Is checking usage hours through the Menu a reliable way to check hours? I am looking to buy one of these TV’s and don’t have one yet to try this out.Thanks

That's so old that it's probably almost free. Just buy it and take a chance. I see them at the Goodwill all of the time.

I have a Panasonic plasma a little newer but have not checked the usage hours, still looks great. Plasmas put out quite a bit of heat. If it were me I’d buy an OLED and be done with it

Unless it’s free, it’s not worth it. I had the smaller version of this one and once it burns out (and knowing the hours won’t predict when it will), it’s not worth repairing.
