    I've been strictly plasma... Panasonic. I've owned a 42" and now a 50". Burn-in happens to both and plasma's have fixed the major issue they had when they first came out. Now... pause your movie or game and walk away for 20-30 minutes and you'll get some burn-in... but that goes for both technologies.

    Not sure why everyone is upselling LCDs... both work great. IMO, when I compare at stores, plasmas always seem a bit warmer and, on Panasonics, the blacks are near perfect.

    It's all about what you want to use it for. I lvoe my tv... especially while viewing HD movies. ;)

    • Plasmas have worse burn-inmonospaced
    • Like I said... I've owned two... never an issue with burn-in. I think using it as an excuse is a bit lame.rainman
    • Worse burn-in... if you pause something for a day or 2 straight. If you do that, you're retarded.ETM
    • Also, an image after 20-30 minutes is called retention, not burn-in. It goes away.ETM
    • And even so, 20-30 mins seems low. You watch a letter box movie for 2 hrs and I see no retention.ETM
    • I stand corrected and agree with everything ETM wrote.rainman
    • Damn straight! :DETM
