Incorrect.
Original plasma's lifespan was 20,000-30,000 hours (until gas runs out)(can NOT be recharged currently)
New plasmas lifespan is around 50,000 - 60,000 hours (until gas runs out) (can NOT be recharged currently)
LCD's last about 50,000 - 60,000 hours (or until backlight blows) (Backlight replaced and good for another 50k-60k hours)
So yes, currently LCD's outlast plasmas indefinately and will do so until plasma's can be affordably be recharged.
