my Marantz plasma is going on 6 years now. Color is starting to fade a bit but a line conditioner perked things up nicely. While some plasmas are a bit more notorious than others, many are are very long lived. On the other hand my LCD set (22 inch Sharp) shows a distinct burn mark on he screen after three and half years.

In my estimation TV sets are the most long lived of consumer products, for the most part. A seven year life span is not uncommon in the mature technology, and definitely both LCD and Plasmas fall in the category currently. Both had significant failure rates early on, however.
