ummmmmm… :ugh:

huh???

… i’ve never heard of external UV lights damaging any plasma tv ever… maybe distorting the picture from a perspective, but lessening the life of the tv??? sorry, no.

plasma’s downsides are that you can burn an image in (although you can do this with CRT as well, just to a lesser degree) and that the phosphors cannot be individually changed if gone bad… so you’d be replacing the entire screen which would probably be more than a new TV anyway.

altitude is an issue with plasma, but i’ve never heard of this UV light stuff… please feel free to explain.
