These are supposed to have 60,000 hours of life before they go to half-brightness, which equates to avg of 3000 hours a year for 20 years...

I don't know if they warranty for that, but cnet says they're good to go...

Here's the problem with that. They haven't been around long enough for that to have been empirically tested. That's a best guess from the engineers.

Right, but it's pretty much a myth now that they burn out in just a couple of years.

My Dad has a Panasonic plasma that he's had for 4-5 years now and it still looks just as good as mine that I got last fall.
