thats a great big FALSE;) Hours in lifetime approach an average 60000 @ half life, previous generations would claim upwards of 40000 @ half.

Plasmas last around 60,000 hours or about 20 years of normal viewing time.

Are you trying to imply that Audioholics are normal ?

LOL since audioholics aren't normal, how many years does that translate too in 'audioholics time' ? :D :D

I think thats 4 years for an audioholic...
Indeed, because as audioholics we are able to pack 41 hours of viewing into a single day. Our time-bending capabilities should be harnessed by science, not feared and shunned as they are now.

;) :D
 
Figure ~6 years at 24 hours/day... but that's just until it's at half brightness.

Also keep in mind that consumer products aren't meant to be run that hard. That's why commercial plasmas exist.

Yep, not alot of talk on the commercial end round here:eek: which can be good values for some. A freind has a second generaton pioneer panel, that just went through its 2 isf, and looking great.
