I have the PT-56LCZ70, which is pretty much the same. Today, 7-13-11, it gave out on me. I bought it on 12-4-07. I paid $1000 for it. Never again Panasonic. Yeah, so the rep on the phone says the bulb is covered by warranty, but the service is not. I'm just going to buy another brand TV and forget Panasonic exists.Update,,,so Panasonic set me up with a service company. The service company made an appointment to come change the bulb. So I waited 2 weeks. The service company did not keep the appointment. I made another appointment for a week later. A guy came and changed the bulb. The TV now made a strange buzzing noise but it worked so I dealt. Fast forward another couple of weeks and my TV does not work again. WTF?
