Speaking of Panasonic, I have a 26" VIERA series set from 2007 that is still going strong. I just purchased, used, from a pawn shop, another VIERA of the same year, just a little bigger (32") for what would be considered a "score" price.
I gave it to my mom for her bedroom. Who knows how many hours it has on it, but so far, so good.
I also have a Panasonic DVD player from 2001 that is still going strong as well. I have yet to replace it with a Blu-Ray, because most of those are throwaways.
I bought it new in 2001, and it was about $240.00.
