after reading that, i wouldn't dare risk a $1200 TV on gaming.  you don't need a 42" screen for gaming.  just get a computer LCD monitor with an HDMI input on it, that's what i did.

Plasmas are the worst for all types of TVs for burn in so you want to be careful. I suggest enjoying it but try not to play the same game with the same images on the TV for hours on end day after day. Also it helps if your contrast level isn't jacked up to high. 

My Wife would turn on disney channel for hours a day and just leave it on for the kids, now I have faint little mickey mouse ears burned into the corner. :( 

Ignore the the posts above mines they have no idea what their talking about. The risk of burn-in is very small even with older plasma and there pretty much no risk at all if you get any plasma from the last 3years.

Thank you.

I play on a 50'' plasma, and get nothing even close to burn-in.  Just don't leave a single image on the screen for a while ya know. Like if you need to pause the game and go do something for 10mins, turn off the tv.

And the guy who said you don't need a 42'' tv for gaming is simply jealous that he can't afford one. lol

Make one lil comment jokingly and someone's always there to throw it in your face. lol

Anyhow, what you heard is wrong.  I've even played sports games that have the score bar across the entire bottom for as long as 4 hours straight and still gotten no burn in.  This may not be true of older plasma tvs but definitely not the newer ones. But hey, you're entitled to believe what you want.

LCDs are too expensive? I saw a 42" LCD at Costco the other day for well under a $1000.

costco is awesome

I recommend you seriously consider DLP.  Slightly cheaper, burn-in is practically nonexistent, and they lack the "screen door" effect that many plasma and LCD displays have been found to have.

Nah. If you want an RP TV go with LCoS instead. It's a much better technology than DLP, and IMO, it looks better.
