Scott...I feel your pain brother!! I had the same thing happen to my Phillips Plasma about three years ago (at the time, the thing was only 18 months old). Luckily my warranty covered this and after FOUR months of tv repair BS...they said it couldn't be fixed and Phillips sent me the choice of a new Phillips TV (No FFFing thanks!!) or a voucher for $ 1800. I took the voucher and bought a 55" Vizeo LCD and haven't looked back since!!
