It's a fact, that plasma screens are the MOST susceptible screen technology to burn in while LCD is immune to the ailment.  If you can live with not playing 99% of video games on your fancy screen for more than a few minutes then go ahead and get a plasma.  For my money I'll get an LCD any day.

thats exactly the type of "burn-in" propoganda that I'm talking about.  Your statement about not being able to play 99% of video games for more than a few minutes is completely false.  And frankly, LCD's are NOT immune to burn-in.  I've seen burn-in on many of the latest and greatest LCD panels on showrooms from running a dvd menu loop for too long.

The correct term for what you <might> see on a properly broken in plasma after playing a game with a somewhat static image (HUD or something else) is "image retention", and is by no means permanent.  General display usage afterwards (ie watching tv) will remove any ghosting after just a few minutes.  Sure, ANY display left showing the same image for very extended periods of time will suffer from permanent burnin -> look at the majority of arcade monitors, laptop computers, POS kiosks, etc.

I have 3 plasmas, one of them over 5 years old, that I have played countless hours of ps2, dreamcast, and xbox360 games on, and none of the 3 suffers from even the slightest amount of "burn in".

Yeah I didn't explain well.  I already have a 65" hooked to the set top box in the living room.  With Dish, you can watch the second tuner in other rooms without a box, it simply feeds through the house on the coax.  So this would be my second TV in another room.

I have a 32" olevia (232v). I got it from <a href="http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/OLEVIA-32-2-Series-LCD-HDTV-232V/sem/rpsm/oid/163702/catOid/-12869/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do">Circuit City for $550</a> Which has a tuner built in but I don't have an antenna hooked up to it.

I only have my 360 hooked up to it but it looks great.   I don't use the speakers and would have rather bought the version with the speaker on the bottom.   Watching the HD movies from the xbox live marketplace look great.

I upgraded from a 27" regular tv.  The jump from 27 to 32 isn't a big as I had hoped since the 32 is wider but not as tall.  So if you have a few extra bucks go with the biggest screen you can afford.
