My father has a 42" Viera Plasma that he got new in about 2004 that is still going strong but it only sees use 6 months a year when he is spending the winter in FL. My friend has a 42" Zenith(LG) Plasma that he bought 3-4 years ago and it has had no problems. I have a 19" Coby LED set that was a gift for Christmas a year ago and so far it's still going with no issues except very tinny sound due to the tiny speakers they have to use. I also have a Hannspree 23" 16:9 computer monitor that is 3 years old and a Sony 17" 4:3 LCD monitor that is from 2003 and all still work with no problems. My regular TV is still a 1997 JVC 27" CRT set that I bought new. Still has a great pic and perfect color
