Will using energy saving mode on a Plasma HDTV increase its durability?

Considering that high-def tv’s with the energy star consume 30% less energy, will using the energy save option on a regular basis also increase the life-span of the tv before it loses half it’s brightness? I was told that newer tv’s usually last 60,000-100,000 hours before fading. Thanks!

Turning down cell light and contrast will increase the overall life of the unit. 50/100 or lower contrast is ideal, but could make your picture a bit too dark to see clearly. 75 or lower should be fine. Anything that causes the contrast and/or cell light to become lower will increase the life as well, so yes, power save will help, because you literally aren’t burning the phosphors as bright.
