Panasonic Plasma

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

Unless you’re able to get them for a very good price I’d stay clear.

To answer your question my understanding is yes that is an effective way to check hours. Got that from avsforum in one of the plasma threads. I own 3 VT, 1 ZT, 1 ST, and 2 PZ800u sets.  
 

they all work great.  Make sure you have adequate power protection from surges as does not take much to fry the A board. 
 

I much prefer plasma for everyday watching the motion is just so much better to my eyes.  Have a Sony 385es for the movie room but used the VT for 8 years prior and was great .
