I have a plasma and have been gaming with it for about seven years. I have never experienced burn in. I have a Samsung. It's a great tv. If I ever get a hint of anything the tv has burn in protection and features that help the screen. ie, scrolling, white screen, and grey screen. I've never had a problem. A big thing is when you first get a plasma tv don't game on it until you log in about 100 hours of regular use.
