That depends on the makers and the technology that's true for the earlier generation of Plasma TV but not the latest generation. Even if worst case 40000 hours is a long time away and I have no desire to spend that many hours in front of a Plasma TV! Frankly these Plasma will be so cheap in a few years as they will all be made in China so why spend so much money get a good deal now and save the difference and buy a better one in a few years! BTW: I seriously doubt any display unit ran for 24 hours nonstop for a year and nice thing about display units besides the low price is that it had all the initial problems and bugs fixed.
Agreed it's a chance that I took. These plasma TV can last 60000 hours which is equivalent to about 6.85 years running non-stop assuming that a typical display unit runs nonstop 24 hours a day for a year it still have close to 6 years non-stop round the clock usage that's a lot of life left for TV and DVD watching especially I only spend about 4 to 5 hours max every day. I'm sure before my Plasma hits its lifespan I would change to newer technology by then!

Mine was a 陳列品 but looks like it's never been touched and the manager told me that some of the 陳列品 were hardly used for display including the one I picked. One of my friends just bought a brand new Samsung 42" Plasma and had to replaced the unit 3 times because of different problems! Knocked on wood mine has been excellent so far and I can't complain with what I paid for and the technology & quality I'm getting![/quote]
I don't like display unit especially TV.
The TV penal had normally we said life time display unit normally is the one always on when display. It means the life time is shorten.
If the price different is not big I still prefer brand new.
