Today's generation of plasma TVs last a long time. With newer technology there is little chance of image burn or other problems that have plagued plasmas in the past. Expect it to easily last 5-10 years.

Do plasma TVs have a number of working hours?

Plasma televisions do have a finite life. The phosphors that generate the image age as they are used. It is this feature that can cause "plasma burn", an effect that shows a permanent shadow of a static image that has been displayed for many hours on the screen. Plasma burn is an exceptional event and if the display is used for normal domestic viewing, then it should last for many years. As it ages, the image brightness may reduce a little but this is rarely noticed. It is quite reasonable to expect a plasma screen to last for five to ten years with normal viewing. Manufacturers rarely quote operating hours as there are many variables that affect the life of screens.

What are some negative issues involving plasma screen TV's?

One major drawback to a plasma screen television is that they are very fragile. They must always remain in an upright position (even in shipping) which sometimes the consumer cannot know. They are also very heavy. If your wall mount is not mounted properly for the weight the television set will come crashing down to the ground. One last negative thing about the plasma tv's is that they suck huge amounts of electricity. If you are trying to cut down your energy consumption this is not the television for you.

When buying a flatscreen TV which is better a Liquid Crystal Display or a Plasma?

1080p recent LCD - it will last far longer. The plasmas used to have more contrast, deeper blacks and better viewing coverage, but the LCDs for all intents and purposes have caught up in the last gen a year ago or so. Plasma will burn in an image if left too long on the same place on the the screen - like the network logo in the corner of some broadcasts. There is a maintenance mode that will fix it (full white screen for X amount of time), but why bother? It will also get dimmer in the years to come.
