Consumer Reports did a review of lcd and plasmas back in Feb or Mar. The conclusion was that none of the flat panels had much of an issue with repairs. Sharp, Samsung, and Sony all did very well in the report. If I remember correctly, these three competed for top honors with Samsung slightly edging out the others for motion display. The nice thing about Consumer Reports is their reports actually have value, unlike the audiophile rags which are basically useless dribble akin to the mags at the grocery store checkout counter - entertaining though rather perusing hi end speaker cable or two headed babies.
