This is the amount of time that it takes for one colour to die away before another colour replaces it. The effect that this causes is a blurring of object edges during picture motion. Plasma does not have this problem. Plasma has a higher contrast ratio, i.e. the blacks are more black. LCD uses very little current from the mains. Currently on the market there are LCD TVs that, when used in a dark room, use only 30 Watts of power, less than a light bulb. Plasma uses more power than you can imagine. Most plasma TVs can heat a room. So, Plasma is better for a decent picture and LCD is better if you want to be able to pay your energy bills. LCD suffers from hysteresis.

This was because CRTs are only a glorified type of thermionic valve (yanks called them "tubes") and the working life of a valve was known almost to the hour. This knowledge was built up over decades of use. Large (tv size) Plasma and Liquid Crystal Displays have not been around long enough in domestic use for this amount of knowledge base to build up. Any estimates of how long they'll last in domestic conditions (variable ambient temperatures, being switched on/off a lot etc) are only guesses so far. Ask this question again in about 5 or 6 years and you'll have more accurate answers. Based on laboratory calculations and experience from smaller types of these screens, your domestic tv should be good for 10 years or more. But it's really too soon to make a fair comparison with the CRT sets. There is nothing you can do to extend this apart from keeping the screen clean, not banging it about and generally being nice to it. Televisions that used cathode ray tubes (CRT) had a honestly well defined duration. This was since CRTs are only a puffed up type of thermionic valve (yanks called them "tubes") and the working life of a valve was renowned nearly to the hour. This information was built up over decades of use.

Large (tv size) Plasma and Liquid Crystal Displays have not been nearly long sufficient in domestic use for this amount of information base to build up. Any estimates of how long they'll last in domestic conditions (dithering ambient temperatures, being switched on/off a lot etc) are only guesses so far. Question this inquiry again in about 5 or 6 years and you'll have more accurate answers.

Based on laboratory calculations and experience from less vital types of these screens, your domestic tv must be excellent for 10 years or more. But it's really too soon to make a honest comparison with the CRT sets.

There is nothing you can do to proffer this away from each additional from maintenance the screen sterile, not banging it about and generally being nice to it.

You can try and get the guns re-aligned. This will however cost money. I am not sure how much it will cost. If you can get into the service menu options, you can re-align the guns yourself. Your tv is an ancient CRT rear screen projection, if you really want to try and boost the picture. You can try and get the guns re-aligned. This will but cost cash. I am not sure how much it will cost. If you can get into the service menu options, you can re-align the guns physically.
