Ok, I'll translate: Based on looking a random material, a Panasonic plasma will reach half brightness at 100,000 hours. OK, that means that looking at part of a logo, bug, or banner at full brightness, they will, at best, fall to half brightness in about 20,000 hours (because they are probably assuming an 18% gray average). Assuming a linear fate of burn, that means that you will get a very visible 5% burn difference between a bright bug and black bars in 1/10 of 20,000 hours or 2000 hours. That sounds about right for a type of set that has known burn-in problems. Doug McDonald | ||||||||||||||||||||||

I wonder if they just toss this blip out to inferiorate their customer base? Generally the products, irregardless who produces them, do not last anywhere near 10% of that time period in the real world. Like Honda inflating their mileage reports on the cars, now there are major ramifications heating up because of their subjective advertising. >
