They suggest nominal lifespans for plasma at 25k-35k hours, compared
to 50k-75k for LCD (the backlight it what goes, as many laptop owners
will attest) and 80k+ for CRTs. Earlier in the article they suggest
that plasma is a stopgap technology that will disappear as the big
LCDs get brighter and cheaper.

Hitachi are claiming 60K hours for their latest plasma panels...

I'm not convinced that the screen burn issues are resolved though, even
with the picture shifting etc, methods employed to attempt to limit the
effect.
