Yup, must be a Panasonic, it's already developing the spots and discolorations typical of their TV's. Hope the sucker that bought this, does not have to deal with the same pre-scripted customer service response all their customers get. Hey Panasonic, take responsibility for your manufacturing defect and fix my (and others) EEPROM issue!
Thats why I own Sony Products....
Quality Control.
Ah, burning rubber coating the nostrils. Screaming fans eating finger licking good chicken and tossing bird bones asunder. Lite beer being chugged by the truck load. And a two dimensional screen across the track to distracting fans from the real experience of NASCAR.
This Phrog would rather not watch TV while attending an event with real, tangible, special effects. Ribbit.
Not sure how they can claim it's bigger than the one in Cowboy Stadium. The one in Cowboy Stadium is 180 feet by 101 feet (18,180 sq/ft) This one is 200 feet by 80 (16,000 sq/ft) and the one in Cowboy Stadium is a true 1080p Mitsubishi HDTV, this thing is an oversize JumboTron, not even sporting 720p. Hope Bruton Smith got a hell of a deal on this thing.......
