Initially, this was true. The first gen of plasma displays had quite poor lifespans, but they've improved drastically over the years. This is just a first impression that lingers on well past its' relevance. You would probable have to search pretty hard to find a plasma that didn't have a good lifespan.
BlackJack's right; good luck wearing one out. Last that I heard, most new gen Plasma lasted 10,000 hours minimum.atomicfly
they've improved slightly since then. Most current well made units have a 60,000 hour lifespan. And that's only the point at which the phosphors start to lose approximately half their brightness, not when the set will cough up a lung and drop dead.
