I personally will never own one, but the misconception that plasma’s have burn in issues isn’t correct ANYMORE. They have internal ‘wobblers’ that move the image around the screen so fast your eye doesn’t even catch it. This almost completely eliminates the issues of burn-ins. While they are more likely to get a burn-in compared to an LCD, the chance of that happening these days (with new products - not plasma’s from 5 years ago), is unlikely. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/find-me-a-damn-tv/241298)._
