I recently acquired and repaired a TX-P50U20B and checked the hours usage in the service menu.
For an 8 year old tv it had clocked up an impressive 37,000 hours plus - that's over 12 hours a day, every day before it failed.
That despite the fact it's the base 1080p model with no cooling fans and no heat sinks on the Y buffers and the notorious TNPA5105 SC, which was the failed part.
Anyone seen higher hours before failure?
