I've got a Panasonic 58" 1080p and its absolutely amazing. Its about 4 months old. I also have a Philips 42" 720p. This one we've had for about 4 years. Its also amazing, no color fade that I can detect and no burnin either. I don’t know what you’ve heard about plasmas but here’s two data points.

You obviously compare the plasmas to 32" LCDs if that's all you see, or you don't view the TVs from a distance that you would watch them on your room. This is absolutely not true.

I could have bought a 42" plasma for the same price but its all about brand. I would have had to buy insignia or Phillips or some crap, and reviews told me that even though the burn in goes away, STILL, its annoying as hell. Yes, watching SD TV is like watching 1970's tv, but I don't watch SD, comcast has everything I need in HD I just bought a 37″ Samsung 720p.

It's cheaper. 2. Power consumption is significantly less than plasma. 3. Picture quality is more than adequate. I have two reasons why I stick with LCD.
