A plasma will lose brightness over time, I assume colour as well. However, so will LCDs. The vast majority of LCD and Plasma TVs are rated to last 60000 hours before Half Brightness (20 years at 8 hours per day). The new Panasonic Plasmas are rated for 100000 hours before Half Brightness (34 years at 8 hours per day). ALL TVs lose brightness and colour over time.
