Should I even bother going with plasma? They seem to have the best pictures of the flat panels, but almost every person I have spoke to about the subject tells me to stay away from plasma sets. Why? Any tv will eventually break down.
Follow Ups:
early plasma sets failed because the owners and installers had them fitted into the walls like a picture. Heat kills the the plasmas. Current sets have fans and are recommended to be mounted with 2 to 3 inch clearance on all dimensions. There are little problems if the concerns regarding cooling are followed.
Old prejudices and experiences die hard.....
However, the biggest culprit is Plasma TVs can suffer from Burn-in or Stuck Pixels burn-in produced by static images. After extended periods, stationary images "burn in" and produce an after-image ghost which remains permanently on the screen. With technologies such as 'pixel orbitor,' new plasma TVs have addressed burn-in and significantly reduced the issues of older models.In addition, LCD TVs do not suffer from burn-in, but can have a "retained pixel charge" which may also produce ghosting. Stuck pixels are also possible with an LCD display. With the latest plasma technology this would be even. The "pixel orbitor" is automatic and does not require additional efforts by the end-user.
neat but not as automatic as it should be. My PDP had it as an option but the factory default is OFF.
I bought one last year and I am very happy I did. Picture is spectacular.
