Plasma Burn in
Just as a side note, burn in on Plasmas is greatly exaggerated / overblown. It's a very common myth that plasmas are horrible in that regard. Yes, plasmas can get burn in, while LCDs 99% of the time can't, however, you have to be really trying to get it to happen. Now, I can't speak for using it as a computer monitor, but I've had a Panasonic plasma for 7 years, and I watch lots of movies and play video games. I've had some marathon gaming session with friends, 8 or 10 hours at a time. I've never seen even the ghost of image retention or burn in. And with modern TVs it's even more rare. Just walk through your local store and look at the display models that have the same image on them all day long (some store do this as opposed to playing demo videos, or the demos have a logo that is always in the same place). I've never seen one burned in. Most sets that get burn in are defective. Image retention is slightly more common, but can be erased in a few minutes or hours.
