In Reply to: Common wisdom on extending life of LCD TV? posted by Audio Snob on November 3, 2006 at 12:56:17:
One of the biggest problems with all panel sets (plasma as well as LCD) is that direct exposure to sunlight will kill the phosphors. LCD's are particularly sensitive to UV, and the LCD rear projectors usually have a UV filter built in to prevent the LCD from premature failure.
For all flat screen panels, the life of the panel is relatively long these days. You will probably suffer more problems from power supplies and such before the panel actually fails. However repair is not a simple thing. The extensive use of surface mount devices, coupled with the relatively quick obsolescence of model designs, means that repair and parts after a year or two may not be feasible. Use a PLC, keep the unit away from direct sunlight and you ought to avoid most major problems.
Oh yeah, turn the sharpness down and you'll get better color fill. I normally turn the brightness down a bit too.Stu
