There is actually a similar "burn-in" on LCD's but it is rare to happen (mostly if you do not fill the image over the entire screen for prolonged periods of time.  Burn-in on new plasmas is just as rare and their is a fix for most burn-in on plasma.  Most importantly, is your room bright (sunlight)?  Plasma's have glossy screens and have horrible reflection issues and is by far my biggest gripe with plasma sets.

67 inch LED DLP for the win!

im using a sdtv right now but im getting a lcd hdtv. the no burn in and 2x longer lifetime made me get lcd.

I was thinking of getting this 32" TV.

But I've been hearing a lot of talk about how 1080p isn't important on anything over a 40".

Still, the TV's with a lower resolutuion then that offer only 3.1 mega pixels vs 6.2 mega pixels. Which is quite a difference.

I dont know if the lifetime issue should bother most people. If you use your TV for 5-6 hrs a day it should last you for a decade before it loses half its brightness.. A decade is a long time for a TV in terms of tech and you would probably need a replacement in any case..

Plasma TVs are cheaper (for a given size) and have a slightly better display for videos.

On the other hand LCD TVs are more robust, smaller and lighter and often have higher resolutions which may be important for playing (less so for video).

Personally I would go with LCD. The image is amazing, I don't want a TV in a size where Plasma has a clear advantage. (too big for my room) and I have carried around my TV often enough to appreciate the LCD advantages.

Most plasmas last 100,000 hours. LCD lasts 60,000 hours. I dont know where you folks are getting the info that LCD outlasts plasma.

Actually 1080p is good for you.. coz most 1080i sets have a res of 1336*768 or something.. I read an article on how that makes the image even worse because of resize and scaling.. so its better to get a set that does absolute 720p (i.e. 1280*720) or absolute 1080p

I notice a concern for many people is ghosting, well, i'd like to add my experience with that.

If a TV has an 8 ms response time, odds are you are going to have severe ghosting on darker areas of the game (to the point where you can't stand it). However, most people illiterate on TV's don't realize that most TV's have a "game mode" option that pretty much makes ghosting a non issue, on 8 ms TV's you have VERY slight ghosting with the feature turned on, you have to really strain your eyes to notice it. on 4 ms TV's it is impossible to notice any ghosting at all (most o your computer monitors are LCD right now, and obviously you have no ghosting issues).

So ghosting should not be a concern for not buying an LCD anymore.

See threads have this thing called the "original post", and you're supposed to read those, preferably the entire thing.
