Screen burn has never been a great problem - but it IS something you have to be careful about for the first few months - after that it's unlikely to be a concern. For that reason you're better off with LCD for gaming - or wait a few months before you use it for gaming.
My Plasma was second hand, so already well past the 'screen burn' age, and I've NEVER taken any precautions against it (I happily leave it on a game for extended periods).
If I'd had it new, it would have been treated differently though

Power consumption is considerably higher (although lower than they used to be), but is that a concern for you?.




Once one bulb in a plasma goes, arent you screwed? I read the picture degrades quicker as well.
