Which last longer Plasma or LCD?

We made a significant investment in what we thought was a good TV that would last us 8-10 years.  We have a Toshiba plasma TV (42HXP95) that will be 3 years old the end of November. This week it developed a fine line (violet) on the right side of the screen that runs about half way down. The extended warranty is gone and the dealer was not very helpful.  I cannot believe a $3,000 TV is bad in less then 3 years.

Is this the best we can expect from these new LCD/Plasma TV's
