I looked at buying one of those Pioneers when I was first in the market for a modern unit (it was a TV, not a monitor so not sure if it's the same). I looked at one that had been running non stop for about 1.5 years, and it was really down on brightness. The guy at the time told me that they do lose a little brightness as time passes, and considering the high cost of panel replacement I decided to pass in favor of a DLP set made by Mitsubishi. I figured the cost of a light bulb was a lot better than the cost of a plasma panel, in the event of failure. $130 vs $$$$???
