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".

If you've got it hooked to a set top box (equivalent of a cable box), that will then have all the outputs you need, so you're' not married to coax.

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.
