I read there was a limit on how big they can sell tv's for power use or something? Was it not about 50"? Noticed there's a 6" tv for sale in Currys or Comet so have they allowed them to 60" now? How long before 70"?

Even PCWorld are selling an 80" model...See here.
The word 'fact' should be replaced with 'myth' or even 'scare-mongering'
They can't 'leak gas' as they don't contain gas - they actually contain a partial vacuum, and if air leaks IN the panel is ruined. I've no idea where all utter this rubbish about gas and requiring refilling ever came from?.
'Life' isn't any specific time, most plasma failures are panel faults rather than 'wearing out', just the same as with LCD panels.
I'm heading down to London during the summer hols and i'm gonna go have a look at it lol. According to an article about them. Panasonic have sold 31 so far.

As I've already mentioned, 'life' is pretty meaningless - the estimates given (and they are only estimates!) - is based on the brightness reducing until it's too low to be used. Mostly the panel (or the rest of the set) has developed a serious fault before then, scrapping the set.
But overall, decent make LCD/Plasma are considerably MORE reliable that CRT ever was - according to personal experience, plus insurance and large rental statistics.
Is there still a large TV rental market with the likes of Asda selling 32" TVs for less than £180?
As call100 has mentioned, it's a shadow of what it was - but there are still a few big players in the rental market.
