Terrible as it might be to say, but if the actual panel itself goes defective on "any" Plasma (or even LCD) set the whole set can be classed as a proverbial bucket job as the cost of replacing same is not far off the price of a new set, and in some cases even more when taking it into consideration the fact that sets have came down in price compared to what they were a couple of years ago.
This is the reason that its absolute folly to purchase any of these type of TV's without taking out an extended warranty to guard against possible failures.
