It appears the longevity issue has been put to rest. One thing that has been mentioned is the heat dissapation of a plasma, would be alright in the winter but not so good in the summer. Any input on this would be appreciated.
Thanks for the input

If you have central air, then don't even worry about heat output at all.

In the hottest months of summer... (this is in Oregon though )... where we have no AC... the most I have to do is keep a fan going, but I need that regardless of the TV or not as it's so hot out.


In the winter though, it seems to help heat the place nicely. Personally I think adding a few extra people to the room for movie night puts more heat in the room than the TV, but that's me.
