    WOW. This is about the biggest boasting I have ever seen. Why didn't you also post the "Should I drive my 2008 BMW" thread?

    DON'T PLAY VIDEO GAMES ON IT! I have the same exact tv and it engrained John Madden's face into after I played Madden 09. I was so fucking pissed, tried to take it back and they said it was my fault for not reading the entire manual.

    the guy @ circuit city was talking out his snazz. many many hours of halo and tiger woods logged on my 50" panasonic plasma. no burn at all after about a year. don't leave a game sitting on the screen paused tho for looong periods of time, thats the quickest way to GET screen burn

    I own a store that sells palsma and lcd tvs and the only time you should get screen burn in on a plasma is if a still image is left on the screen for 2 hours or more. Old video games had stationary backgrounds new video games do not have this problem so you should be fine. As others have stated, if you pause just turn off the tv
