Just another reason not to buy a Plasma TV. I should be surprised it hasn't been completely killed off yet, but the other promised TV technologies just haven't come forth. My choice would still always be LCD over Plasma though.
I got an LCD TV precisely because I didn't want to deal with burn-in. Also, the plasmas I saw (including GF's plasma) all have an issue where they do dithering to increase the number of displayed shades of color. The dithering is particularly noticable in the shadows in dark scenes.
Plasmas are also usually significantly more expensive than LCDs for a given size and resolution.
HOWEVER... The plasmas I've seen all had fantastic brightness and contrast, usually overshadowing any nearby LCDs in the showroom. And that's what people like when buying TV's: Deep blacks and blinding whites. I'm not surprised the plasmas are selling well.
