Plasma Display Panels (PDP)... Can't Post
Plasma Display Panels (PDP) :

Plasma is the type of television most associated with high end home electronics. This is mainly because they get a lot of marketing that tells us plasma has the best picture money can buy. All plasma televisions come in a flat panel variety. Most are sized in the 40-49" range. They are competitively priced against LCD flat panel televisions, and feature a stunning picture that puts you in the middle of the action. Plasmas weigh more than LCD’s, but nothing additional supports couldn’t handle. They are susceptible to burn-in, but despite rumors to the contrary, the gases that power the picture cannot be refilled. While they are too young to accurately measure, plasma televisions should last anywhere from 10-20 years.

true but the cars made in the mid 70's didin't last as long as the ones made now and you are using the same logic
the new Panasonic NEOpdp panel plasmas have a 100,000 hr half life rating............thats about 30-40 years of viewing .........more than most LCD panels

you are forgetting that most tv's come from China and as we all now know, the Chinese can't make a pair of socks let alone anything technical whereas cars are mostly European design which have improved over the last 20 years. Just because the PDP has a quoted half life of 100,000 hours does not mean it wont go faulty after 3 years. I speak as someone who has been in this service trade for over 25years.

if you have been in the industry for 25 years you would know that most flat screen tv's do not come from China
most are from Korea,Japan or Mexico...........only a few come from China
