The LCoS FPs made by Sony and JVC as far back as 2002/2003 have performed on par with their LCD cousins from the same manufacturers and others as far as endurance and continuous use. There have been no mention in any tech writings I've read regarding a concern for LCoS FPs versus DLP and LCD.
I can't comment on the RPTV scene since I've never been attracted to that segment. As you know RPTV's demise was due to failing interest once flat panels became cost effective and Sony along with many other brands has completely pulled out of that segment for this reason . Meanwhile, FPs of all flavors have quietly and slowly continue to increase in popularity for home theater displays.
