Plasma technology works best for "main TV" application with larger screen sizes, such as in the living room with a home theatre system. It delivers more dynamic pictures without viewing angle restrictions, and it is very effective at displaying the fast motion images featured in today's action films and sporting events. Plasma life expectancy is approximately 60,000 hours. Based on 8 hours per day, that works out to 20 years of television life.
