What should I do? I don't really feel like exchanging for the exact same model, as two have already been faulty. I don't have any higher of a budget, and I just can't afford to not get the extended warranty that Costco offers. This is a real nice television, but I just refuse to pay that kind of money for a faulty product.

Can anyone recommend a solid brand in the same price range? $1200. I am at my wits end. The kind of research that is required in order for it to be worth the cash just makes my head hurt. I don't want to go lower than a 46", and I don't want to baby a plasma.

Am I SOL?
Panasonic has always been my favorite brand of Plasma.. look into their TVs, I know my G/F's father has had one for 4 years now, and no issue at all with burn in, and that is watching letterboxed movies and playing video games on it...
