Plasmas are amazing picture quality and speed, nothing will touch it. As far as the burn in goes this is a problem if you will be doing things like playing video games and/or watching certain tv channels that have bars or menus on them that don't move. If it gets left in one spot too long it will burn in for quite awhile, but if you follow the instruction on the break in of 100 hours or so it does get way better.
Also with the Samsung (not sure of others) it has anti-burn protection screen that you let run if you notice some burn in (not to be confused with Ghosting)its just a scrolling screen that goes from the whitest white to the blackest black and will erase the images.
I bought a Samsung 58" last year at Best Buy for like $1600 I think, so they are so much cheaper than LCD and LED LCD because people are stupid and talk shit about things that they have no idea about, such as why you shouldn't buy a Plasma TV and how they dont last. Well if you spend a few hours doing searches on home theater websites you will see that a typical plasma will last every bit as long as a LCD, they say 100k hours of use is the norm. By my calculations of averaging 6 hours a day 7 days a week= 45.78 years of use. So you may want to consider buying a new tv in about 40 years or so because the technology may be outdated..
Hope this helps.
