Thanks for the confirmation Phil.

One other thing I forgot to mention.... the screens we were offered had
been
fitted with high contrast anti glare screens to improve the visibility
(smoked glass screen) and if you have ever tried an anti glare screen on
your PC monitor you will realise just how much light gets absorbed by the
anti-glare screen meaning you have to drive the monitor/plasma even harder
:-(

Just to confirm what Keith's saying...

At the moment we have a Pioneer 40" 4:3 plasma at work and we've
probably
had it no more than 18 months. It doesn't show the same things all day,
it's
not even showing things all day but it does usually get left on all day (9
-
6) - even though people are told to power it down after use. It is
*definitely* getting greyer as time goes on ... it's certainly not as
bright
or contrasty as it used to be.

I'd be very wary of buying a plasma at the moment - especially a second
hand
one. I've been and looked at several that were current six months ago
(including the Pioneer 50" XGA) and I really didn't think that they
were at
a point where they were suitable for long term domestic use.

Phil
