In Reply to: Re: Budget Plasma EDTV vs higher-end DLP HDTV? posted by DavidLD on February 24, 2005 at 05:52:43:
Plasma life (actually, it's hours to half brightness) was about 30k hours nearly 5 years ago. In 2003, half brightness avanced to 60k hours. When Panasonic rolls out their 8th generation models (the 8UY commercial series), half brightness will be rated at 100k hours -- equal to flat panel LCD. And even at half brightness, the user menu provides controls to account for this fall-off in light output.For 30k hours half brightness, that's 4 hours per day for 20.5 years. Who keeps displays for 20 years? The average display is replaced about every 7 years.
Now, are they still susceptible to burn-in? Yes, but the advances of each generation makes this issue less of a concern.
