[QUOTE="vertcobra99, post: 11206220, member: 3485"] I know the new Panny plasmas have a life of 100,000 hours now. Which means if you watch 8 hours of TV a day it will take 35 years before the screen is half as bright as the day you got it. I don't know anyone that watchs 8 hours of TV a day... let alone 4. But lets say you watch 4 hours a day... it would last you the rest of your life... 70 years... I think its safe to say that life expectancy of your plasma should not be a deciding factor on weather or not to purchase considering all the superior qualities that they have over LCD's including picture, viewing angle, refresh rate, and color accuracy. Burn in was once a problem with plasmas but is now a thing of the past (at least with panny) In case you don't know what that is. Its when an image is left on the screen for extended time and when you turn the station you can see a ghost outilne of previous image. Usually seen when the screen is black. This used to be a big problem when plasmas first came out. But has been eliminated in newer models. The only area where LCD has an edge on plasma is power consumption where LCD's use considerably less power. everything else Plasma > LCD [/QUOTE]
