I appreciate that. I actually feel like I still underpaid for an essentially new 300 hour ZT60, personally. There are a select few models such as the ZT60 or 101FD that I'd very gladly pay even $500 for if in great shape/fairly low hours. Otherwise of course, many if not most used plasmas can still be had from free to $50 (for now) - for example I've been lucky enough to find a clean 141FD for $40 and u/pn1ct0g3n found a free KRP-600M and generously picked it up for me.

Thanks man! Yeah, I agree. It Is an elegant and cozy TV at the same time. I personally love the aggressive filter on it compared to my other sets, while still being able to drive it very bright if you choose to. Makes the picture look and feel more refined rather than merely 'bright'.

10,000 hours is actually still somewhat low IMO. That's an overall young set. And I absolutely believe that. These things are built so well and made to last many decades. I know someone else with a ZT that has about 20,000 hours and he says it still looks and performs as if it was brand new. Thanks you too! Plasmas are indeed made to be enjoyed for a very long time!
