I love plasma's but two things worry me:

1. Picture Rention. It's going ot have a lot of games on it and am afriad of image burn in even if it is temporary.

2. Heat. I live in a small room with a very fussy GF who hates heat. I hear plasma's get very hot and creat heat?

LED's pictures are impressive but still not up to plasma standards. They are much more expensive for a similiar model but also have the advantage of No retion and less heat.

What say is the best?

1.) Newer Plasmas rarely get Picture Retention unless you leave a static image on for a long time. Newer Plasmas have things to prevent image retention such as pixel orbiters and auto-shutoff. 2.) It doesn't create that much Heat. What you probably have to worry about is your electric bill as Plasma wastes more electricity than LEDs.

Minor Image retention is part and parcel of being a Plasma TV owner and is nothing to be concerned about. Remember how you had to degauss old CRT monitors back in the day? Same deal with image retention on Plasmas. Burn-in is a separate issue which is practically non-existent with today's Plasma TVs.

I have a 50in panasonic plasma, and it definitely generates a lot of heat. So much so that, while I prefer plasma to lcd, I would list it as a negative factor.

if this helps you i use my 42 inch panny S1 series for a computer monitor and i do get image rentention my desktop but it goes away within like 5 mins when pixels are moving, plus you have to be a inch from the screen to notice it before it goes away. plus plasma have better blacks and colours and handly motion better. LED 's have closed the gap but a great panny will be the best
