Have had a 50 inch Fujitsu plasma TV going on 4.5 years. It does run hot, but I have never had an issue with this set. We have a run-down cabinet that it resides in and one night we forgot to turn the unit off. It ran all night in the cabinet. I could feel it (the heat) as I walked by the cabinet in the morning. Nothing happened. It is still humming along. The "burn-in" problem with plasmas has never shown itself with this set. I don't know how long it will last, but back in 2005, I paid a bundle -- now I could buy 5 of them for the money spent back then. Even though this was a pre- HDMI set as well as 1080p resolution ( I think the native resolution is 1080i) it has a great picture. Not trying to push these sets, they are no longer being made. Using component cables, I get a great picture even though it is hot. So when the time comes that this set goes to plasma heaven, I will probably be left with only LCD choices for a replacement. Perhaps the technology at that time will take care of heat problems. We shall see.
