I have decided to make this thread one where member can posts feedbacks in regards to the servicing of damaged/broken/malfunctioning to their respective sellers/distributors.
This is to keep transparency and to help other members in buying new sets, official or otherwise, and the preceding post sales services given to them. I'm sure this will help a lot and will also serve at least a power thread where we can voice out our concerns regarding the brand's reliability or the seller's service.
Carry on.
-------READ MY RANT ON THE 6TH POST--------------------
Back reading on the 2008 Panasonic thread you would find that I once had a defect in my LCD, a 37lx80, a so called "staining", which unlike backlight bleeding produces a weird yellow stain that's more pronounced and distracting and in fact in kind of gradually grew. This came about around after 3 months of use.
After 2 months of waiting and getting excuses from Panasonic, with Sir Jeff's help they upgraded and changed me to an 37Lz80 in which I was pleasantly surprised with, and very grateful, around March/April of last Fast forward to today, well about a month ago, these "stains" started to creep again, very yellowish (in the pictures, its not as pronounced but personally it's really yellow), first from the right and then just this week to the left. Also from another angle it seems that it's starting to show up on the upper corners too. This is not just some uniformity issue with backlight, i wish it was. It's far too obvious in watching DVDs and Blu-Rays since having the black bars, top and bottom, really shows this staining.
I need your advice fellow members, my warranty ends in a few months, do I go to the grueling process of availing the new set again? And after that in a few months it will show the "staining" again? There's an almost 2 month old 42LZ80 too in the living room, so far so good, am i just really unlucky? or is there a small sized batch that have these defects? Are there any other owners out there experiencing the same thing?
Pics were taken at an order when i first noticed the stains
Take not, again, there not as obvious here in the pictures but personally they're more obvious and really yellow.
Sigh
What to do?
