I have the Panasonic VIERA TC-P65GT30 65-Inch: 8744.40 Hours (Count: 3579)


The TV works great, but once it's been on for a couple of hours, I can hear a very light constant clicking (fast clicking) sound coming from the left of the TV. Maybe it's on its last legs. Oh well, it lasted for 5+ years.


Cheers,

Pioneer PDP-5070HD, Sept. 2006, started as main display, now Master Bedroom TV


Pioneer PDP-5080HD was a discounted BB floor model in 2008 for Basement Man-cave TV


Both displays are still used almost daily.

The 5080 shared home theater duty with a 10k+ hour projector
(Epson 1080UB) for the last 8 years)

I've never had any repairs on any of my gear.

With your Samsung remote and the screen off, hit 1-8-2-mute-power and the technician's screen will come up. Scroll down to Service, enter, and the panel hours will display.

I own an LG 60" plasma and would like to join this conversation…but I have never kept any kind of record on how many hours are on the set. I do know it spent a whole year on almost all of the time, but again the hours were never clocked. I have heard that plasma TV's were headed "fast & furious" toward extinction…I love the color saturation on my plasma, but to my untrained eye the 47" LED TV in my bedroom looks equally bright and sharp.

Many of you seem to know down to the 1/10th of an hour how many your set has clocked…is there some sort of "time keeper" function on the TV that will help identify the hours used (and, conversely, perhaps the hours "left")?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Pioneer kuro 50 inch purchased 2005 estimated use time is about 14400 hours, never a problem, hoping for another 10 years, but I am about to buy a Plasma refill kit to keep in reserve:)

What model#?
I dont think the Kuro models came out until 2007.

My 2006 Pio was a non Kuro 5070.
My 2008 Pio was a 5080 Kuro.

Last time I checked our old Samsung HP-s5053 (circa 2006) had almost 59000 hours on it, that was about a year ago. I don't check it much because going into the service menu resets all the picture settings back to default. It got relegated to the bedroom sometime back and gets used mainly for gaming these days.

Repaired once at @ 1year due to the sparkling issue those sets had. New panel and various boards.

Cheers

Panasonic TC-P50V10 19650 hrs 8082 count. Never been serviced and the only issue is an occasional buzzing sound during bright images.

64" Samsung F8500 has 5552 hours and no issues after 25 months despite dire warnings from 'concerned' forum members of units purchased from non-authorized dealers. Tonight's panel temp reading after 3 hours is 36C. Before mounting it on wall added 2 low profile fans which I'm convinced improves longevity.

These 2008 Pannys seem to go a long time and some not. I talk my Mother in Law into a TX-50PX80u I think it was and it still works. I have a 2008 on my list that I talked my brother in law into and the power supply went out at 4900 hrs. He gave it to me and I fixed it. Still have it:)
