Do Plasmavision displays last a long time?
With normal household or business use, Plasmavision display images will look great 10 or 20 years down the line. Since the picture is made with phosphor, engineers can accurately predict the geometric decline of the phosphor’s potential brightness. Note that while the brightness declines slowly, the phosphors never “burn out.” Also, note how the rate slows over time. The rate of decline points to a specification called “Life to Half Brightness” or LTHB. Plasmavision display’s LTHB, ranging from 30,000 to 60,000 hours, depending on model, is about the same as you’d expect in a high-quality, properly calibrated TV or studio monitor.
