dude your tv will be ok . like iq said most of the newer plasma even have protection against burn in, u may have some ghosting but keepin a moving image and the tv it self will usually get rid of that. u only really get burn if u leave a still image up for hours. but if u r not doing research on your tv before u get it then u deserve the discomfort of not making an informed desicion, if u game get an lcd if u watch a lot of movies and regular tv get a plasma. if u r gonna game all day for more than 6 hrs at a time get an lcd.
