Panasonic Plasma TC-P65ZT60 and TC-P65ZT60 usage hours?


Question? - Panasonic plasma. TC-P65ZT60 and TC-P65VT60. I know you can check the usage hours and counts (power on) by going into the Service Mode in the SRV-TOOL area. I also saw where you can check usage hours by going into the menu, Menu-Help-Version-Status 4. The Status 4 line is suppose to show usage hours. Is checking usage hours through the Menu a reliable way to check hours? I am looking to buy one of these TV’s and don’t have one yet to try this out.Thanks

I have the TC-P65VT60 for over ten years and never have any issues with it. I assume it will die one day soon. The picture is outstanding. I don’t think status 4 has the information you are looking for. Here is what mine shows:

Status 4   C9999 - 00000

Status 5   00000 - 10000
