Plasma is still MUCH better than LCD for reproducing blacks, true colors, and response time. But it's more prone to burn in - so not so good for gaming or watching too much CNN. Either way, these would make great TV's for a home theater.
Complete baloney. Unless you're running CNN in a store front 24 hours a day, you will not experience burn in with plasma. My 42" panny plasma is GREAT for games, DVR (paused pictures), and hours of NBC.
And even if you do have burn in it can be undone by running a picture wipe DVD to even out the phosphors (though I'm not speaking from experience because I've never needed to do it).
