do you mean you havent seen that telly clip of that bbc presenter andi peters kissing his nice new plasma tv live onscreen ?

burned his lips quite badly on it from what I remember

and they are reputed to use approximately 4 times as much electric as a crt tv

According to the plasma makers organisation average power consumption for a 50" screen is 399W. You don't get ought for nought.

I have a Panny PX70 50" on a wall mount and it's not even warm - I would take it back if I were you.

ive got the same as you m8 a Pana TH42PZ70.. had it about a month.. only slightly warm after being on all day..
silly question maybe but..have you got it on a stand with plenty of room around it ..
is it close to a source of heat (rad/fire/ect)..
if not you need to get it looked at m8

I have got a Panasonic TH-42PX700B wats output 270W the screen is not hot you can touch it and kiss the screen if you want (echelon's do you mean you havent seen that telly clip of that bbc presenter andi peters kissing his nice new plasma tv live onscreen ?

burned his lips quite badly on it from what I remember) The back warms up a bit but still not that hot to touch. Must say is is a good plasma.

[Ghoulie]

panny plasmas these days aren't supposed to get to what you would really call hot - something wrong here - unless its an old one

[techmob]

i have the same tv 42thpz70 and it is coolish to touch, well slightly warm, but you don't feel any heat off it you have to touch the screen to even feel a little warmth

its on an average of 15 hours a day
