@Tuoyo certain games cause image retention, which I'm scared could lead to burn. Think of it like this, I'm playing a game that has a health bar, that health bar is static. As a result the plasmas of the life bar are overexcited and lead to IR. This is why gaming gives more IR and higher chance of burn in opposed to movies or tv shows with no logo. Also I agree 1080p is nice but the fact I need to be 6 feet away doesn't seem worth it, and picture quality is definitely the most important in my opinion as well.
@Blappo thanks for your input the 80XU I'm looking at is the newer model I believe so it shouldn't be too different. That Panny LCD model actually has a really good LCD panel that a lot of other LCD TV makers don't use. If you're interested here is a guide on IPS http://www.pchardwarehelp.com/guides/lcd-panel-types.php and why it is the best type of panel for LCDs. Most LCD panels use TN so if you are considering retrying a LCD I would suggest you get a IPS.
As for me I'm still on the fence, it feels like I'm in a lose/lose situation. One tv is cheaper by 50 dollars, a little bigger, but uses 720p (not a big deal to me) and requires more maintenance (however with proper care a Plasma tv will never have any problems).
On the other hand I have a tv that's smaller, more expensive, and with chances of random problems (stuck pixels, dead pixels, clouding, etc.) but with 1080p and is user friendly.
