That's an insane number of hours, you must leave it running all the time?

I had a Sony LCD rear projector for my first HD set in 2004 or 2005, it had 10,000+ hours on it when I replaced it in 2009 with a Plasma during Circuit City's closeout sale, I thought that was pretty heavy use.

The 2009 set got replaced in May of 2014 with another Panny Plasma, the old one worked but I was afraid it would die and no more Plasmas.

I just checked the hours on both Panasonics, they are within a few hundred hours of each other, the newer set has fewer hours but more on/off cycles.

I watch a lot less TV than I used to, though Isolating has kind of upped the time spent in front of the TV again.
