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.

I have heard they burn but aldo have great picture, I may get on in the future when I get my own place.

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.

The most common type of tv I repaired from panasonic were there plasmas and they were always a pain to repair, I know that the picture on there plamas were great but they failed too often in my opinion.

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.

Plasma, sub 1% for Panasonic & LG, a few percent for Samsung.

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



Have you tweaked your set yet for deep blacks & red tint issues?

No I havnt I may but im very happy with it atm

Re: What tv brand do you most common repair ?

tom from your opinion what is the pourcentage of panel failure of plasma and led, and after some 10000 hours working are pourcentage of panel failure rise

I agree Tom I have a load of plasmas I need to sort but havnt really had the time to diagnose them.
All though I bitched about plasmas I am a very proud owner of a pioneer kuro 428xd and I flipping love it

Re: What tv brand do you most common repair ?

You probably havent seen as many debouched plasmas as me then, they are alot harder than lcd.

It depends on what you like for repairs. Plasma involves more troubleshooting but my success rate is much higher because LCD seems to have too many panel failures. I prefer plasmas for reliability, to fix and to watch - you can't beat a good 9G Kuro, or late model Panny/Sammy plasma for picture quality, absolutely outstanding.

Re: What tv brand do you most common repair ?

Funny, been the complete opposite for me!
Depends on how much repair you're willing to do - some of them can involve replacing 20+ SMD components. Fortunately not had to do that yet.

I don't like to replace the boards I like the challange of repairing them, its just that I get around 3-5 tvs in a day I want to get jobs done fast things get pushed to the back and then they dont get sorted and basically a nightmare.
Lcd when they fail I can normally tell with out even opening the tv, but plasmas are alot harder to diagnose the fault on the specific board.

Re: What tv brand do you most common repair ?

I usually find any plasma easier to repair because it's generally just a power device problem in them. Plasmas make huge demands on their drive components but they're often discrete components and the principles are fairly simple.

They are made mostly of power supplies, more power supplies and power drivers.

Re: What tv brand do you most common repair ?

Of all plasmas, Panasonic is hardest to repair mainly due to the complicated driver boards but the picture quality is outstanding and reliability is much longer than typical LED-LCD TV.

Plasmas are naturally alot harder but I have had the most trouble off Panasonic's

Re: What tv brand do you most common repair ?

I've repaired double the amount of Vizios than the next two highest brands (Panasonic and Samsung) 20 vs 10 each.

I have also seen double the amount but plasmas are harder and much more cumbersome to repair.
