Will an LCD TV ever burn out?

The average life of an LCD is 6 years. Now this is average. They are too new to know for sure. They rarely burn out, unless they are defective from the start. Unlike an LCD a CRT display starts deteriorating in picture quality from day one and they have an average life of 4 years. That doesn't mean they won't work after 4 years it just means the picture quality is below a certain quality level after 4 years. They can actually work for 10-15 years or more, albeit with a poor picture. An LCD last longer, doesn't loose picture quality, takes up less room, and uses less energy, although they cost more. Weigh these factors before you buy. The prices of LCD are dropping all the time.
