Supposedly plasma fades over many years. I’d be happy if someone could squash that as only a myth, because it kind of bothers me.

I used to feel the same way, until my son appealed to reason.

All TVs fade with time; always have, always will.

Plasma and LCDs just do it at one fourth the rate.

So where's the problem? I stopped thinking about it after that....

Projection TV's may fade over time, but a $200 bulb replacement brings them back to 100% brighness. There is no recovery for plasma.

I've had my Sears CRT TV since 1987. No problems with fade whatsoever!
