Here's a usefull piece of advice.. Don't buy the Panasonic 50" LCD unit. I think it's PT50LC13 or something like that. I've owned it for two years now and the "F"ing bulb has just gone out for the 4th time. I'm absolutely livid about it. I have a 3 yr warranty from Sears but I want to take this set back for a refund or replacement. The bulb is supposed to give an indication of how many hours it has left but mine just dies and we have to be without the set for a week each time the (nonshallante) repairman has to order a bulb. BTW, those bulbs are expensive if you don't get a service plan. This darn TV was close to $3K and it goes out every few months. Manufacturers put a note in the warranty info too stating that bulbs (lamps) are wear items and will need to be replaced, to cover their ass. I won't be getting another Panasonic.
