Top critical review
2.0 out of 5 starsDidn't last long...

****UPDATE**** - After spending $1000 to have this t.v. fixed, it was about 7 months later, and once again, POP - out goes the picture. Zenith's products are a joke, and it's very clear that this particular product is defective and should have been recalled. However Zenith would rather keep your $3000+ instead of stand behind their product. It's no wonder Zenith changed their name to LG because they know that nobody will buy anything that says "Zenith" on it. It's only a matter of time until people catch on to "LG" and they earn a bad reputation. We also sent a very nasty e-mail to Zenith/LG about this, and have not heard squat in response. Not so much as even a "We're sorry you're unhappy with the product". Thanks for nothing Zenith. I wish I could have my $4000 back, because less than 2 years from original date of purchase, this t.v. is going to the dumpster. Would have been only a year if I hadn't had it repaired.
Everything below is my original review:
I bought this TV 1 year and 2 weeks ago. Overall I was happy with the picture quality (although the blacks are really splotchy). Unfortunately, I was watching TV when POP! there went the screen. Of course the warranty was only for 1 year (even though the website states a 2 year warranty on Plasma TV's) so I just got screwed by 2 weeks. Reading the other reviews I see out of only 7 reviews, at least one other person has had this happen as well. This makes me really question the quality of this TV. Do yourself a favor and buy a Sony or a panasonic or at least get a really long, extended service plan. Getting burned for $3500 sucks.
