# Buy Panasonic Viera TH-50PZ800U 50-Inch 1080p Plasma HDTV TH-50PZ800U

If I had rated this TV a few days ago, it would have gotten five stars. However, it just died the other night while my wife and I were watching TV on it. It made a ‘pop’, and the picture went away.

I tried disconnecting the power, and turning it back on. It blinks the red LED ten times, waits, then repeats. Looks like an error code to me.

It was a great TV before it died. It died about two months after the one year warranty ran out.

Update 2009-10-27: Got a call from Panasonic today, and they are going to cover the full cost of replacing the plasma display. Turns out the plasma display had a two year warrantee, even though the TV itself only had a one year warrantee. Thank you Panasonic!
