I'll be jumping to hd soon and I just want to hear from someone who knows what they're talking about that its safe to buy plasmas since they seem to be a little cheaper LCD's. Just so know I'll be doing a lot of tv watching, movie watching and ALOT of 360 playing...lol

Absolutely. I have had my Panasonic for a couple of months and I have zero image retention even after long sessions of gaming. It IS still possible very VERY unlikely unless you leave the same image on there for hours when you first get it. IMO these newer plasmas are ideal for gaming with their instance response rate and no ghosting. Just be sure to keep static images and programming with black bars off it for too long until you pass the hundred hour mark. I played 360 on mine from day one. Just take it easy for a while and you will be rewarded.

I own a panasonic viera tv and i haven't had any problems with burn in when i'm gaming or watching films for that matter so i think you should be ok if you buy the newer model.
yep you'll be fine as long as you work it through the break in period. check out this break in dvd. its a free iso file download and its supposed to break in your TV painlessly, you dont have to worry about any black bars or image retention.

Spot on post..I have had my TH-58PZ800U for a few months now.....Not one problem.....and I spend hours each day gamming on it..
I'm going to say yes based on the fact that i've seen people post gaming screenshots and plasma setups in the 360 and Ps3 threads at avsforum for years.
Yes and no. Yes, in that plasmas are generally more immune to burnin than b4 buts its still possible. No, in that the quality/price ratio is still not right. Your best bang for your money is a nice 1080P LCD IMO. If money is no object, then I say..go plasma go.
