I'm looking to buy a new 40"+ tv because there are a bunch of sales on where I live (Australia) so I should be able to get one for a decent price. My budget is $1000, and I'll mostly be using it for gaming. Are there any that come particularly recommended? I'm leaning towards this Samsung, but have been starting to wonder if I should go with plasma. How long exactly does it take for burn in to become an issue?

The Gunslinger posted:You have to really abuse a plasma in unconventional ways to get burn in. Like leaving a static image running for 8 hours a day for every day. You can still get temporary image retention but that's easily taken care of with built in software tools. Hell many people never even notice it in the first place as normal viewing habits usually ensure you don't encounter it. Many gamers own plasmas and have no issues, just leave the pixel shuffler feature on or alternatively run the screen wipe app that most plasmas have every now and then. I'm leaning towards getting a plasma the more I look into it, so this is good to know. The only other issue I'm concerned with is screen glare. It's barely an issue on my lcd, but apparently it can be quite bad on plasmas. I really don't like sitting in a darkened room, so this is a big deal to me. Is this something I really need to be concerned about?

Cheers, that's good to know, I'm not really able to play during daylight hours anyway. I've just about decided to get this Panasonic, but I'd love to hear any other recommendations anyone has.

The glare on my plasma is starting to get to me, so I'm considering switching to an led. It's proving to be a huge pain in the rear end to find one that's backlit with a matte screen. The only one I've been able to find is the Vizio XVT3 which would be perfect, except Vizio don't want to sell their stuff in Australia. Anyone know of any others?
