can u trust the plasma to not lose its brilliance in 5 years?

Try 3 years

Ive had my 42" plasma (phillips) for 3 years now and the picture is going cuts in and out and fades…only used 1-2 hours a day (movies/ games) 2-4 hours on weekends. Suppose to last 15 years at 8 hours a day…what a load of shit. LCD for me next time

Thank god for that $350 4 year warranty from best buy

I also just picked up a 57" Toshiba RP HDTV that is the shit. The DLP’s are light and all but i hear are very finicky when moved from place to place (mirrors shift). If its going to stay in one place (unlike my tv’s) then grab it

g/l
