RE: Advice on Plasma

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think screen burn-in is somewhat over-stated - I've got a Panasonic
50" which has been running for about a year now - gets quite a bit of
use on all channels (with logos). Not the slightest signs of any burn-in
either temporary or permanent.

I've yet to see an LCD unit that compares (viewing angles, contrast etc)

Paul.
