If it's anything like my experience with Plasma I expect signs of permanent panel degradation during normal use will show up at around 8-10k hours, and mine is mostly cause of subtitles and logos (now at almost 12k). Right now I think they said they are 5k so I'm curious to see how it's going to go for the next update. I do need to change my TV eventually but probably going to keep it till it dies at this point.
