I cant see how having a video system is any worst for a tv then watching a movie... Now if you leave it on pause for 2 hours... ok, but otherwise the TV does not know the differance between a movie and a Xbox...

At least thats my thinking...

My wife spent $3,000 on the 52 inch SONY, & we have a SON that plays video game, I'm not going to take a chance, how much better can a PLASMA be over a LCD

Been researching this.....common thought is for the 1st 48 hours of a plasma tv's live, do not turn it off, turn the contrast down, make sure the size ratio is full screen and let it run for a minimum of 48 hours & 72 is better. As much as 10-15 min on pause or with a set background you can have screen burn in & ghost images, but new technology has way reduced this. Plasma is more fragile than LCD/LED, uses way more power and is quite a bit hotter.

One man's TV is another man's boobies....Would ya ever put a house payment or more down on a pair of fake boobies

Panasonic plasma TV's seem to be the best as far as plasma & Samsung as far as LED/LCD...

My wife loves watching TV, I don't watch much TV only FOX NEWS, Since I bought some McMILLAN 50 BMG with NIGHTFORCE NXS scopes, I guess the wife felt she can spend some $$$ on a TV, TV lose value, But a McMILLAN 50 BMG will always be worth the $6,000

For me alot. On teh big LCD's when something detailed and fast is happening (lika panning over a crowd during a football game) its gets jerky and pixilated for me. My wife does not see it. Plasma does not do it though. Its like teh Cummins vs Duramax vs Powerstroke debate, when it coem down to it they are both good its what works best for YOU!

As for the games, I've never had a problem but take that for what it is worth.

That is true I think Panasonic brought the rights to the blubs to put in there tvs.

That is because the "kids" plause the game and it burns a image in the screen.

Think we are going to go with something in the 46 to 55 inch range.....
If you are going to play alot of games the plasma (PS3,WII) is the best.
