How long does an LCD monitor last?

Answer 1

By shelf life I'm assuming you mean prior to opening. If kept in a controlled climate like a store warehouse there's really no shelf life. If you mean use life. All TVs are now said to have a life of 22 years if watched an average of 6 hours per day. Keep in mind that this is the brightness half-life which means that at 6 hours per day of use the picture will only be half as bright in 22 years as it is the day you buy it.

Answer 2

Typically a LCD screen will be rated to about 60.000 hours.

LCD backlight lamp will decrease brightness. That's the most evident sign of wearing.

The more contrast and brightness you use, the faster it will decay.

Obviously, the electronics can also fail - and in any other electronic device - power supply for example.

Sharp screens allow you to replace the lamp. Other brands less so. Apparently some Samsung monitors also allow replacing the backlight lamp.

Theoretically, anyone could replace the lamp - but it's probably a rare part, hard to find, hard to buy, and very fragile and would require a certain amount of experience.

Answer 3

About as long as your extended warranty, or factory warranty plan. It really varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and because it's `man made' it's destined to fail at some time or another.

Answer 4

Every brand of television has their own specified warranty period. Most LCD TVs come with at least a one year warranty. Some company's have the warranties broken down for separate parts of the TV. For example, the warranty on minor parts might be one year, while the LCD panel is two years, and the TV tuner is 3 years. The package insert of the TV should have all warranty specifications listed.

Answer 5

If you are trying to decide between a plasma TV and and LCD, one factor that you won't need to consider is life span. Both the Plasma and the LCD last about 20 years.
