Panasonic - ideas for life

Panasonic Professional Plasma Displays are among the most reliable in the industry with 60,000 hours of service life. This provides customers with approximately seven years of continuous use, or more than 20 years of typical operation before the panel reaches a 50% brightness performance level. This specification is even more remarkable as Panasonic has recently improved the brightness by 20%.

This high-level 60,000-hour service life has also greatly improved Panasonic Plasmas resistance to image burn-in. This performance now exceeds the typical burn-in resistance provided in conventional CRT TVs, meaning that if your current CRT technology has not burned in, neither will your Panasonic Plasma in similar operation. While no technology including DLP or LCD is immune to burn-in, (or what is called Static Image Retention) the Panasonic Plasma, when operated as outlined in the product instruction manual, will resist burn-in in the vast majority of all applications.

Panasonic backs each professional plasma with a 1-year parts and labor warranty including on-site customer support.
