i have yet to find a customer whom has a Plasma TV to last anywhere near that, they say the lifespan is 100k hours, there are so many other components which will more then likely fail before this time. However from a work perspective i can confirm that 100% where i work LCD's have a better lifespan and less of a failure rate.

In all fairness who's going to be using the same TV for 18 years? Way technology goes must people will be chopping and changing every 3 years

Plasma technology has moved on since then! Image burn takes a hell of a lot longer now and plasmas last upto 18 years now.
Theres pro's and cons on both, The pros on the Plasma out weighted the pros on an LCD for me.
i would like to see a plasma TV which lasts on average for 18 years, they use gasses and after so many years the gasses escape and make the set near redundant. Image retention can also happen after an hour aswell, i get so many sets at work which suffer it, especially in a commercial environment
The gasses do not escape. Plasma and LCD's have the same half life of around 60,000 hours of constant use.
yes they do, do you quite understand the difference between an LCD and a Plasma? do you know the average lifespan of of the actual TV's or are you just guessing?

Right looking at new TVs.
But I am after the same design as the LG 50pq6000 where it has 1 piece of glass over the front.
I think Nismo off here has one ?
is there any other tvs that Lg do in the same design ? or other brands.
I might get the pq6000 because seen it for £550 but just wondering if I have any other options.
:)
