I purchased a HP PL4260N 42 inch HDTV in 2006. On July 12 2009 the screen lost its picture. After extensive research it is apparent that this is a manufactured defect. Since the product is out of warranty, the cost for repair is $600. This is one half of the purchase price. I beleive that HP needs to either replace the television or make the repairs at no cost to the consumer.

Sincerly,
