i will get a little IR when gaming but it'll go away after i watch tv for a minute. Plasmas are great for gaming, I prefer plasma to LCD any day.

I play a fair amount of Xbox 360, sometimes a few hours at a time. Usually there's not a problem. But recently playing Dragon Age, which has static images of health/party members, etc. I noticed some retention when shutting the 360 down. However, this quickly goes away when you start to watch some full screen TV or movie. Never stays around after viewing other formats.

If you ever used a CRT for long hours on gaming, then a plasma shouldn't be so different. If you can't trust it with the pause screen, just switch it to broadcast television that has no logos (HBO) and you should be safe.
