Please keep it, and report back on its reliability beyond 4 years!

I just bought a new 42-inch Panasonic plasma here in Germany, with a 2 year warranty, and wonder whether these things really last longer than that. I mean, the screen may be rated for 100,000 hours, but what about the power supply or the remote receiver?

My wife's TV, a Crown made in Japan in the 1980s, still has a good, if small, picture and there was no rational justification for replacing that :) But sitting back and watching The Bridges of Madison County from 12 feet away is a much more involving experience now!
