One of the most common misconceptions is that Plasma Screens only last about 5 years. Perhaps this was true of some of the very first models, but nowadays you should expect them to last at least as long as conventional TVs.
Another worry is that the gas in a Plasma TV display needs replacing every 2 years. Fortunately this is not true. Plasma screens should not need any additional service to extend the screen’s lifetime.
Our third myth at least has some truth to it. This is that Plasma Screens are particularly susceptible to screen burn - this happens when a image is left in the same place on the screen for too long, like those pesky channel logos, and you’re left with a permanent residue of the offending image - It is true that Plasma screens are more susceptible than conventional televisions (mainly in their first 50-100 hours of use) however, at the time of writing, many models come fitted with a variety of features designed to eradicate screen burn. That said, it is probably a good idea not to leave it on all night and to ensure that the screensaver on your DVD player is switched on.
