ROFL Puppet. I got plasma because of one word - viewing angle. j/k I wanted a screen larger than a crt, but because viewing angles suck for rear projections, and they are as big as friggin entertainment centers I went with the plasma. And yes... they are prone to burn in and they are reduced to roughly 50% of their original brightness after about 5 years of average usage. Right now I am running my settings really close to the zero marks. My logic tells me that in five years I can have a picture comparable to now by cranking up my brightness etc. Furthermore, Puppet is right. In 5-7 years I will hopefully be looking for wall space for my new 50+ inch plasma for the living room, while the old unit will go to my bedroom.
