    LCD, easily into the 5% range for Samsung, a few percent for the other brands (LG and Sharp.)

      They are very nice panels. Contrast ratio is far more important than brightness. Every day I see an LED TV, I just can't help but notice the poor contrast with high black levels distorting the image. Such a shame plasma died -- an unfair death IMHO.

          My dad has a Panasonic plasma which he bought new in 2005, I think it is the Panasonic TH-37PA50. It has been in daily use ever since and has never been touched.

            Fair enough, I brought a fujitsu plasma from around 2000 was fully working needed a good 24h screen wash run on it, but it was rock stable.

              I have an OLED phone (Samsung Galaxy S4) and if the picture quality on it is anything to go by OLED will be the killer tech for TVs. Absolutely amazing. Infinite contrast ratio, high brightness, good motion response. Only real complaint is grey is a little uneven. Also they burn in much faster than plasma does.

                          Lot of failed IGBT's common with panny.

                          Only ever had a few of LG in and only 1 Samsung, All LG's have been panel or LED failures, Minus one which was vestel boards and that was a bad startup cap

                              always bad samsungs for me but it still could be because of marketing that probbaly
                              more samsungs are sold but also i have found that any brand made in 2011
                              are bad as if 2011 they all really screwed up

                                I agree most of the tvs I get are 2011 sets, that's probably the year they all started going cheap and poor quality and now 3 years later they are all failing.

                                        That makes me sad...my two favorite TVs (LG)...one is a late 2011 and the other an early 2012. But I bought them both pre-owned (so about half of what was retail). The older one I've had for about 2 years now and is up to about 9,500 hours. It runs around 15-16 hours a day, continuously. The newer one I've only had for about 4 months and it's maybe at about 4,500 hours. It runs about 12 hours a day, continuously. So far, so good, though I do keep an extended warranty going on both, just for the hell of it.

                                        I was actually going to ask what years are showing up for repair of late. So with that now known, what kind of repairs are they (if there is one that's seen more often than others)? Surely we're well beyond bad caps and bad tab bonds?

                                        EDIT: Just for giggles, I decided to go take a quick look on Google and see if I could figure out what the most common repair might be for my TVs (both CS570s - a 42" and a 47"). It seems like maybe the most common problem is intermittent starting, or shutting off shortly after startup, which is fixed by replacing either the mainboard or PSU. So at least it's not bad LCD panels, which is good!

                                          I see all brands that are worth spending your hard-earned on!
                                          Mostly Samsung because of market share and I agree about 2011.
                                          However, I still get older LG, Vizio,Panasonic,Philips and Sharp.I turn away a lot
                                          of Sony with bad panels. And since the first of the year, I am very choosey about
                                          older plasma of any brand = diagnosis fee up front or go away ! ( $120.00 )
