Questions about image retention and/or burn in on plasma TV's

[sudbury78]

I want to go get a plasma in exhange of my lcd 5271 by samsung. I really love the plasma look and dont usually hear of banding/stuttering/tbe effects. I am just scared of the image rentenion, etc. My understanding is if you dont keep a show on pause/video game on pause for hours, there wont be an issue? Is this true? I have NEVER EVER had broadcast TV on for more than 2-3 hours at a time. I play xbox maybe 2 hours at a time, sometimes less. The only issue I could have is that I watch cnbc alot and the ticker might pose a problem? what do you all think?
