They last tens of thousands of hours, well until you'll be ready to buy a TV with then current tech.

From what I've heard tho, if the panel is allowed to rest in a powered-off state, it'll "clear up" on its own.Powderkeg said:The problem with LCD displays is that over time, the crystals retain a charge which causes them to align themselves incorrectly.
