Vizio has the most parts available from the scavengers that resell the organs from dead ones on the internet. The most often seen brand here is Phillips. They are plain garbage. I won't take plasmas in anymore. They love to come back after a repair. I use a LG plasma sparingly at home but it enjoys devouring a sustain module a bit too often (loud bang and dark screen follows).
I've had a number of Sony sets come in that eat their remote IR pickup module. It is getting very hard to find at a reasonable price to find that module.
Get the extended warranty and give the beast plenty of ventilation.
Unplug it if you are not going to use it for a couple of days or longer to avoid the capacitor plague.
And absolutely NO Polariod! They are worse than Phillips! We don't see a lot as people just throw them away when they break!
