Burn in exists for plasmas, but what people forget is that it also exists on CRT TVs.  By far the worse cases of it, I've seen on CRT TVs.  I have a 50" plasma.  I play alot of gamecube which for some reason leaves about 3" total on the sides that it won't fill.  I also watch a bit of 2.35 movies.  After playing/watching 2-3 hours, the burn in is washed away within 5 seconds of changing the channel to something that fills the whole screen. 

My question is about my parents LCD.  They have a sharp aquos 46".  It has 4 ms response time.  I've always thought it was a quality display/still do.  It looks fabulous in 1080p and I've never really noticed issues when playing TV/movies.  But I hooked my wii up to it.  Everything looked really good and played really well.  Then we put on Super Mario Bros (VC).  And the motion blur was almost unplayable.  Something I didn't notice at all on my plasma.  Do you need to get a 120 hz LCD to avoid this problem?  I don't think the response time gets much better than 4 ms for LCD.
