I bought this TV to replace an older 42" Panasonic Plasma. I install TV's and I have to say I prefer the picture on a Plasma TV over LCD or LED. It does use more power though. This LG gives a fabulous picture when set up properly. It's worth taking the time to set up a TV and not just leaving it on "Dynamic" or "Cinema" It's a full HD screen and when connected to a Blu-Ray player the image is stunning. It also does a good job with standard def Freeview, not something you can say with all large screen TV's. Sound quality is good but there's not much bass. However it would be a crime not to pair this TV with a surround system, particularly when watching movies. The remote is good but the writing is printed on the buttons themselves, and this has started to wear off on a couple of them after less than 12 months. Overall though, you will struggle to get a better picture for under £1,000

Resistors burn out? Did you get that from the internet? Not my experience, and I repair about ten flat screen TV sets every week.
I have had no real issues with the big LG Plasma TV's.

Reliability of LG TV sets is similar in my opinion to other makes, I also repair TV sets and find that Samsung seem to be in the workshop quite a lot.
The problem with these new type TV sets is that when they do go wrong it's often necessary to replace complete boards, which makes it more expensive.
