1. Burn-in used to be a big problem but now it is due only to misuse or neglect. If you are a gamer and/or watch channels with a constant banner (sports/news/stockmarket), you should not buy plasma because of burn-in. That said, my Fujitsu has been in use for more than 5 years now and is free from burn-in.

2. My daughter and I have had our plasmas for 5+ years without any problems.

3. IMHO, the best plasma today is still the Pioneer Kuro but finding one less than 50" is unlikely since Pioneer has stopped production. Take a look at Tom Norton's tests and ratings.
