Im a huge gamer and im looking at HDTVs. I am getting a ps3 soon and i have a 360 and blu-ray player already. Well I came across a Vizio plasma 747 dollars 1080p and it has all i need 2 HDMI 1 component 1 composite. My room is fairly dark and cool and was wondering would this be good for gaming. Its plasma so I know im risking burn in ,but it still cheap and looks really nice. Is burn in really that bad or is it only a minor risk

IR in plasmas is temperary. Most new plasmas have IR protection settings.

As long you don't leave it on pause, you should be fine.

If you do need to pause then turn the Tv off, then come back and game on. Just be smart, let the TV rest sometimes.

I feel i should warn you in regards to choosing a Vizio display, a sentiment that seems to be echoed by many people that own one, "you get what pay for."
