Forget it. I'm not buying a plasma HDTV if it's not gonna last a life time. 20,000 to 30,000 hours before it fades by half?

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>Oh gimme a break, when have you ever had a 10 year old TV anyways? Thats seems like a typical TV life span to me. I would get one if they were a little cheaper, which i expect they will be relatively soon.</div>

[G-man Joe]

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>I still have a Sony TV from 1987. Plasma HDTVs will last less than 10 years if used by more than one person - especially if it's used for video games, DVD and just plain watching TV.</div>

[Sephy]

<div style='font: 12pt "Times New Roman"; text-align: left; '>Well the price is the major concern. I upgrade too much to be worried about a 10 year lifespan :P</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Well think of it like this, on average a person watches maybe 6-8 hours of TV a week. between two people (if you watch some of the same shows) that might be 10-12 hours a week, that's roughly 3,000 weeks which is a good part of a lifetime</div>

[G-man Joe]

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>Yes. =8^)</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I agree with G-Man on this. For a few thousands dollars, one expects a product that will last a long time. I would have no problem replacing a $300 ten year old TV, but not a $3000 one.</div>

[Gentz]

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>True, but I think anyone who might have a tough time affording a 3000 dollar TV set doesn't NEED a 3000 dollar TV set...</div>

[Kupek]

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Nobody needs a $3000 tv set - actually, nobody needs a tv set, period.</div>

[Gentz]

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>So true, but I can at least understand getting one if you have money pouring out your asshole</div>

[Ishamael]

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>Also, the quality really isn't that great compared to much cheaper HDTVs. I just don't see what the big deal is....</div>

[Ishamael]

<div style='font: 14pt "Sans Serif"; text-align: justify; padding: 0% 15% 0% 15%; '>No, I'm fairly positive I would die if I didn't have one. I better not risk it. :)</div>

[G-man Joe]

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>For second there, I thought you meant you'd die if you didn't have an $8,000 plasma TV. =8^)</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I don't watch a lot of TV, but even I wouldn't subject myself to such a cheap TV set.</div>
