Why Is Plasma So Much Cheaper Than LCD?

And I assume that ESPN goes to commercial once in a while so even if it’s left on for hours at a time there are going to be times when the logo isn’t on screen. Maybe Gaffa would like to share the exact circumstances that resulted in his burned-in plasma sets.

From this thread:

LCDs are definitely longer lasting than plasmas. I install TVs in sports bars where they are used 18 hours a day, 7 days a week.

I personally don’t think that’s a valid data point to compare normal use to.
