I was merely stating that TV manufacturers could make a TV last forever. How many people actually keep a TV past 15 years though? How about past 20? So even if plasmas and LCDs are currently being designed to last beyond these milestones, how many will still be owned by original owners? And I’m talking about as the primary TV in the home. Not a secondary basement or bedroom TV. Technology obviously moves along so fast that while a $3000 TV does depreciate from the moment you buy it, its lifespan is still limited by ever changing research and developement. Doesn’t matter if it lasts 10 years or 25, it’ll be old hat sooner or later anyway. The question people should be asking themselves is, how long til your ready for another upgrade? Not how long will this or that TV last? Chances are it will outlast your need for bigger and better! ---

lol, prolly seen it at best buy or CC. Where brightness rules!!! Also, static images like stated above never stay, i get them after playing my 360 for a long time, as soon as i hit the tv button, they go away. Again, so many people misinformed about plasmas here. ---

My advice whatever you buy get an extended warranty with the TV. Manufacturers only cover for 1yr parts and either 90 days labor or one year. Each kind of TV has downfalls. I would also recommend going with a known manufacturer not an off brand. I can tell you we see TVs that are not even a month old in here sometimes and most retailers will not return them they send you to a service center.
