All 4 of our tvs are plasma and I won't be getting rid of them until they go. 50" Pioneer in the living room has been running flawlessly(knock on wood) for over 11 years and the picture looks better than some of the junk I see in people's homes. No burn in here to complain of. Only complaints are energy use is higher and while it helps keep the room warm during colder months it also keeps the room really warm in warmer months.
