I love my plasma too... it makes movies come alive, much better viewing angle. The pluses are a lot more. I play video games, watch TV, do blu movies and rarely get retention if it barely lasts a moment at all. Burn in will never happen for me... I never had burn-in on my CRT EITHER!!! If used normally a plasma should never get burn-in these days for a new panasonic or pioneer... they have anti-retention technology invisible to the eye... usually a pixel shifting technique... it is listed in the specs.
My next TV will be a plasma I know it. LCD has lousy contrast, viewing angles, and color balance. EVen the Cathode tube doesn't produce a 100% perfect white light that it relys on to generate all colors. LCD must start with white and then subtract levels of R G B using filters. On a plasma it is easier to just add levels of R G B to get white.
Anyways... I will do pioneer next time... or maybe panasonic. We'll see what the next gen brings :-)

Eventhough I love my plasma, I will be open to any of the newest technologies when I eventually replace my tv. OLED might be available(I know its available, but I mean in larger sizes), LED backlit LCD's are supposed to be pretty good, Laser TVs are coming around as well. You never know what the future brings. So, I will look at all my options and see whats available that I could afford, and give me the best picture for the money.

If I was to buy a new tv right now, it would be another plasma.
