Panasonic will be offering a free 5 year warranty on there latest range of Plasma and LCD screen's from May 2008, this will usually run for 2 or 3 month's, it's a D&G warranty covers all forms of breakdown and in home callout's. So if you are thinking of buying yourself a new screen hold fire until then, it will be well worth it. BTW This will only be available to the independant stores and will be in store purchases only, no internet purcheses will qualify. 

Not bad, is it just a promotion they are running!?.......wonder if it covers dead pixels etc!?

Good info - thanks James Collier

Dead pixels is down to the grouping, amount within a defined area on a certain part of the screen,as to weather or not it will be replaced or not. This is the same for all manufacturers, it will also depend upon weather it's lit or unlit. TBH pixel problems are a bit of a myth, In the 8 years I have dealt with them I have only had one case of a lit pixel on an LCD panel. they are more popular on cheap PC monitors I have found. 

I can post the exact measurements if you want me to be An.al about it.
 
And yes it's only being run by Pana, that's how good they are. It's the 3rd year they have run it usually twice a year, and it helps us independants no end.
