I would replace. When my plasma dies that is what I will do. Regardless of what the repair is the rest of the set is still aged, and at some point other things will most likely occur which will cost another $300 to $400 or more to repair. Good money after bad. I love my plasma and enjoy the wonderful picture. However, there are now sets on the market OLED AND QLED that deliver a little better picture. In fact I was at Costco today and was comparing the two. Save yourself the money and heartache.........Replace.
Best Buy has a 60” 4K set listed at $449
problem is what happens to the old tv if you need to get rid of it?
best buy in my area, is able to take in any older tvs under 45 inches.
that means like, 4.
just a consideration when you get a new tv. personally, id get a new one as a gift to the new owners (if you like em)

Randy, didn't you say your set was in an unusual, semi-permanent installation, that you wanted to leave with the house sale?
If that was the case, I'd normally say repair, reinstall, and when the aging set breaks elsewhere, its the new owners' problem. BUT, I also recall you were selling to a friend/acquaintance; if that's the case, I'd present the issue to the new owner and ask them what they'd like you to do.

No, not really. It is a plasma that is wall mounted above the fireplace.
I was embellishing because of all of the work we did to make it right, and how well it turned out.
I think you were on hiatus when all that took place but I had a $1500 budget for the project and ended up spending like $4400.
Ran all new wire, had a new custom cap mantle made for the fireplace, bought a new up to date (then) receiver with all the current bells and whistles, professional plaster repair after we finished the install, and a LOT of hard work getting it done and making it look perfect. We had to drill diagonally through 2 stud cavities and then pull wire diagonally through 2 stud cavities etc.
I was really just planning on leaving it because of the weight and I didnt want to take it down and move it, which would allow me to upgrade to bigger display with 4k, blah blah blah...

What did you decide?
Heard there is a repair place in town. I am going to call them today just for giggles but it will probably go to the recycle.

10 fucking years ago???????
I would have to look through some paperwork but Clearly Resolved sounds familiar.
I think that's the guy that calibrated my Mits.
Apparently lack of parts for plasmas is
the real prblem.
The new Sammy is already hung on the new house and the Panny will not be fixed.

Dang, can't give you anything nice, can we?
So far it has gone well. Not as easy as I would have it, but ok.
Apparently not. LOL
