Plasma repair question. - Blu-ray Forum

Just got my Panny Plasma back from the repair shop where it had to get the board replaced. Upon getting it home I found 3 spots on the screen which I though was glue. When I went to clean it off I realized it was burn marks like the screen had been hit with a solder iron. Then today as I was showing it to someone we noticed 3 'smudges' in one corner. After running the anti-image retention program ALL afternoon it has faded slightly. My question is, Can the screen be replaced? The shop is avoiding me at the moment. They were coming in at 3 yesterday then I called them and they would touch base last night (never happened), then in at lunch hour today (never happened) then would be in around 4 (never happened). Now they are closed until Monday. Needless to say I am NOT impressed.
Stupid-like, I asked if it can be replaced on Facebook to which I got several "Buy new, it's cheaper". I said find me a new THX certified Plasma and I will as I love plasma. I then get this......
There is virtually no difference between plasma, LCD, and LED in terms of display quality and refresh rates. Each technology accomplishes the same though different means.
I am speechless on that. Hahaha
