I'll just go get one of the cheap $1,000 vizios who's parts costs pennies when something breaks.

I've never found Panasonic to have good quality, growing up we had a tube Panasonic that would crap put every 8months or so. My dad fixed it twice then put it in the dumpster where it belonged after 2years. my father in law still has a plasma and it does produce a great picture but you guessed it, it's had issues along the way (extended warranty repairs). It's also not a smart tv so he's committed it to the trash next time it goes out

In the LCD world, Panasonic TV's are not a contender and probabaly hard for you to believe but Vizio is probably better than anything Panasonic now. Regardless, buy a mid level 4k Samsung smart TV, they are the best (I'm a former Sony guy). They have decent specs and mine have been troublefree. Pretty affordable too ($1500 - $2000)

I know every tv has flaws. i just want something that looks decent for video games and won't die on me within the next decade. Vizio seems to be steamrolling the competition, and samsung is dirt cheap. I just worry with samsungs quality. Sony is just to pricey nowadays. Same with Sharp. I will NEVER get a LG tv ever again.

I have been using Samsung TV's -- LCD and LED -- and they perform well and last.

Samsung or Vizio it is. Any specific models you recommend? looking at the 1k range. 50+ inches. Doesn't need to be smart in any way, or need to be 3d. Nor 4k since nothing can produce that resolution for anything I use frequently. Probably LED since I hear color reproduction is better.

Just about anything Samsung LED is good. I have a Samsung 60 inch LED Smart TV model 7150.

Rep honorably.

I have the previous years model smart LED, I think its a 6100 or something like that. The only thing I hate is the smart portion of it. The interface sucks, so I just take up another HDMI with an apple tv and didn't look back.

Lien, too bad this didn't happen a week ago. I just sold my 4 yrd old Samsung 42" for $150 this past monday, it was "like New". Creigslist had a good selection for around $200 mark.

It's quicker in the sense that the feeling of steering is even lighter so you're turning 180 degrees to make a right on red. The power is quicker than the steering can handle. By a large margin.

I left a horrible post on panasonics FB page. They just got back to me asking for more info and are going to see if they can help with an out of warranty offer. We shall see....

I run a sharp 60" at home and its been great for the last 5ish years.
We run a few hundred LG tvs 24/7 at work and surprisingly the failure rate is not too bad.
