years?

TIA

Why does every Johnny Carson wannabee have to come up with a lame
comment that they think is very clever. Sometimes the OP is confused
because he/she doesn't know it's a lame joke. So, to answer your
question, no, it does not need to be replaced. Sets today have a
design life of about 20 years.

I just googled "plasma life expectancy" and that was the first hit.
Most manufacturers quote 60,000 hours, or 20+ years at 8 hours a day.
I don't think anyone watches that much TV

Sorry, saying that the phosphors could last for that long does not make
the service life of the entire display that long. Take a look at hard
drives. Enterprise class hard drives have a five year warranty and a
five year service life.

Did someone tell you this?

The answer is no. Newer plasmas have a half life of around 20 years
of average usage.

It's easy to prove anything to me. Show me a real source that says what
was claimed. I very much doubt that any HDTV manufacturer is willing to
state that they have designed for a 20 year service life. If you can
find one that says so, you have proven the point. If you can't, you haven't.

Creationist? LOL

Were the words small enough and the sentence short enough for you to
understand? If not, have a junior high school student explain it to you.
