PIONEER - PRO-1150HD ELITE® Flat Panel...need some information

That's what I was thinking, but they've made some strides with burn in protection and I'm playing Ratchet right now and it's full widescreen so I don't see why there would still be a problem. I know a lot of these new plasmas have the screen burn protection which shifts the image a little bit. I'm thinking I may stick with LCD just to be sure, but I need to know more about the Pioneer.

I think the problem is score numbers, power bars and the likes, stuff the stays on the same place all the time.
Anyway, I'd go with a LCD of the newest generation. Black levels are quite impressing nowadays and juddering can be solved with 100/120Hz technology. I havent' seen any with this option on games, but judging by the reviews it works really well (at least on the Sony so far). Since I'm not a gamer I'm probably about to buy a Sharp Aquos LC-42X20E

I meant to say it's full widescreen...sorry, but I think you know what I meant. Yeah you're right the power and and other HUD displays are probably an issue. Do you know anything about the Sammy 5084? I don't play games for hours on end so I don't think burn in will be a problem, but I think I'm still leaning towards the XBR4.

The Pio Elites are gorgeous tvs. I love them with a passion. They have by far one of the best pictures ive seen. You may have some issues with burn in on the pioneer, I recommend if u go with the pioneer give it a break in period of about 24 to 48 running hours. Also, a big help to prevent burn in on a plasma is to calibrate the tv to your living room, because out of the box everything is set at max to look great at a retail store. I work at the Best Buy, and there is a agreement amongst all the employees that the pioneer elites are the BEST TVs. PERIOD. Not to say the XBR4 is bad that thing is awesome for an LCD but PQ isnt close to pioneers. Just my 2 cents Also if you do burn in on a pioneer they have a feature called white wash which will literally wash away the burn in. its sick.
