I don't mean to rub it in but you should have done your homework.
The first 1500 - 2000 hours the screen will be nice and bright.
After that the screen will gradually darken.
Eventually you'll have some nice burn-in from various channels.
This takes about 5 years.
Yeah JimBob, burn-in can happen at any time.
I was only stating the most likely scenario.
Since your education is 30 plus years old and you probably started out working on cathode ray tubes the size of garages you might want to brush up on your knowledge of current technology instead of calling people ignorant.

The life of the main cutting-edge technology of plasma reflects is expected at 60,000 hours (basically approximately 7 yrs) of truly reveal time. extra precisely, that's the predicted a million/2 life of the reveal. a million/2 life is the factor the place the photograph has degraded to a million/2 of its unique brightness, this is seen the tip of the clever life of the reveal. So if a plasma reveal is considered an effortless of two-a million/2 hours an afternoon, it is going to final approximately sixty 5 years. This assumes that there are no longer any static varieties which will reason burn-in. Burn-in replace right into a significant subject in early plasma TVs, yet extra present day units use dissimilar mitigation suggestions, consisting of gray bars on the aspects while exhibiting 4:3 fabric (so as that the aspects have approximately the comparable brightness with the aid of fact the middle and as a result fade on the comparable fee) and shifting the photos somewhat so as that a sturdy function (such with the aid of fact the bars used to divide the reveal screen on some stations at the same time with information or activities headline stations) does not constantly fall in exactly the comparable area.

didn't know they had a 5yr warranty, but regardless, a plasma starts degrading immediately, not after 1500 - 2000 hours. And burn-in issues can happen at any time during the life of the product, not when they get older. If you leave a stationary image on the screen too long, it will burn in. Just like regular CRT based displays.
Lots of ignorant answers out there... but to answer your question such as it is....
Chances it will go bad during warranty = 0.01%
Chances it will go bad after warranty = 99.99%
JUST LIKE ANY OTHER TYPE OF PRODUCT THAT HAS A WARRANTY!! lol

there is a good chance that something will go wrong in 5yrs but as far as the brightness starts to fade after 1500 to 2000 hrs is not true besides you would even know that it's darker anyway & as far as burn in it can be prevented just don't leave static images on the screen for a long time & once a plasma is broken in it's harder to burn them in.

99.99%...j/k...but dont buy extended warrantys they are a rip off- ..if it lasts 90 days it will more than likely last the full 5 years and possibley longer...its called burn in...the time where if it is going to fail early it will ...
actually there are engineers out there that make sure it will last almost exactly the 5 years..or just passed the warranty..its what they are paid to do..but thats where the minimum time is...of the poulation / statistical distribution...

You'll be lucky if it even makes it until then. If it does keep in mind any repairs on a plasma cost almost as much as a new one and takes forever to fix.

No. It means that if the TV breaks, the company that sold it to you will not pay for the repairs.
