Title: Green Line
Product review: I purchased this 42" plasma HDTV in January 2008. Not long after I started to use it, a thick, vertical, green line, slightly left of center of the screen, would appear infrequently, and for very short periods of time. I would tighten the connections thinking that maybe when I was cleaning they were loosened. However, for the last couple of days, the line appears as soon as the tv is turned on, and does not go away. I searched the internet, and sure enough, this is a rampant, well-known defect of the Panasonic plasma panel. I tried to contact the plasma conceirge that Panasonic provides its high end plasma customers. For well over an hour all I got was a busy signal. I finally sent a tech support request online at their website. We shall see if I get a response. I paid $1500 for this tv, and I now know it was defective right out of the box. I hope Panasonic does the right thing. I will keep you posted.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
