I guess us Plasma users can now be considered Luddites.

When are people going to get off this "LCD TVs only last two years or until the warranty runs out, whichever comes first" thing? The first LED/LCD flat screens may have had that short a lifespan, but the technology has improved a great deal since then. I know someone who has had her LCD flat screens (she has two in her house) for much longer than two years; both sets still work well. My own 19" FP is now five years old and works every bit as well as the day I purchased it.

Certainly, there are always going to be instances in which FP TVs fail within 2 years or less due to design flaws, faulty components, etc. but as a rule, if a FP TV lasts through the warranty without problems, the set will probably work for years. VK member EdinTX has an LCD FP with at least 50000 hours on it (as I just read in a post on VK from him this morning); the set apparently still works well.

To drudge up this old thread, my Samsung LCd monitor died last year, and it was purchased new in 2007. so I got 10 years out of it.

Then I have a Chimei monitor I purchased 6 months later and its still going right now. so 11 years so far, and going.

I picked up a Sony super-fine-pitch HD CRT so I've got the best of both worlds in picture quality...And the worst of both in physical packaging specks.
