Plasmas do run hotter but the better units run cooling fans in order to dissipate the heat. IMHO experience the fan cooled Plasmas seem to have fewer issues than the LCDs. I have one Sharp LCD which is definitely exhibiting a burn lark on the screen on one channel. Then again a friend who has a Sony 60 incher seems to have the same recurring issue a vertical line appearing on the side of his screen (two sets the same issue, leading me to believe it is a factory production issue).

The early plasmas dd have a high failure rate and part of it was due to the fact that many interior designers cut back the wall in order to inset the plasma set flush. This lead to a huge heat build up which eventually killed the electronics.
