My plasma television has gone tit's up.
« on: 21 February 2018, 18:42:15 »

About 6 years old.

I noticed that on the back it had a small plaque that read 'power consumption 275W'.

Sounds a lot. :-\ :-\

That's why they get so hot, they need a smallish nuclear power station to keep them running.

Plasma screens are a lot less reliable than LCDs, or so my youngest tells me. :-\

I've heard that plasma screens last about six years.

By their nature, the picture quality degrades significantly as its used, much like old CRTs.

When I did my C&G for TV repair, a CRT tube and Plasma unit had a usable life of 3-5yrs, depending how it was used. Nothing has changed, as all R&D has gone into LCD...

I wouldn't buy another.

It didn't handle straight lines well making them pulse, fizz, and shimmy.......and as mentioned 275 W of power for several hour every day adds up.

No doubt you got a good deal when you bought it.

Hmmm....not so sure. It cost £530. Forty two inch Panasonic.

I've dragged a forty inch Sony Bravia from the bedroom for now. I would say the picture quality is superior. :y
