Nothing that I said is false. Of course the pixels are sealed, that doesn't make them hermetic. It's physics. Gas will go from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure. It can and does happen. That's why pixels on plasma's die. Furthermore, you can't recharge the sets, and I never claimed that you could.

Additionally, I never claimed that plasmas wear out, but rather they lose their brightness more quickly than other sets. It's demonstrable. About 1% for every 1,000 hours of viewing, which doesn't seem like much, and isn't perceptible to the person at home who sees it every day, but to someone from the outside viewing it against a new unit, there will be a large difference.

Here's the difference: LCD loses its brightness, you replace the backlight. Plasma loses brightness, you can't do anything about it.
