Yep. My 65-inch 1080P Panasonic plasma failed after about 13 months, and it took the service people a month to figure out what was wrong. On the other hand my first flat panel, an 10K 60-inch Pioneer 720p was great for about 6 years. But Pioneer was losing money on Plasmas, even with sky high price tags, and they got out years ago. The Panasonic plasma has been doing well for about two years since the fix. It’s on the lower level and is used mainly by my son to play video games. I have a 75-inch Samsung QLED 4K in my theater room, and it’s awesome. Been flawless for about two years.
