I'm wanting to get a new tv with my tax return, I just don't know what kind.
Answer
today plasma tv's do NOT suffer from burn in,, they might suffer from imagine retention but that usually disappears after a few hours, imagine retention usually happens if you pause the game and leave the image on the tv,, not when you are playing the game
plasma tv are the best for gaming due to they do NOT suffer from motion blur or input lag compared to some led/lcd tv's but they do suffer from bad reflection in bright sunny rooms, closing the curtains/blinds can easily cure that problem

Are LED TVs better for gaming or plasmas?
Eric
They both have their ups and their downs. Of course, plasmas have a great image refresh rate (600 Hz), but have a bad reputation for image retention and sometimes burn in. LED TVs don't have that same reputation, but they have a lower image refresh rate. As said, I play games a lot so static images may be retained by a plasma, but movements and colors won't be as sharp as a plasma on an LED.
Answer
You need to understand something.
"LED" televisions are LCD panels with LED back-lights. This is to solve the poor black level problem that normal LCD panels have.
"120 hz" is a defect-reduction feature because LCD panels have motion blur problems with fast moving objects. While it reduces the problem - it does not eliminate it.
"Burn In" is caused by 2 problems: Televisions are set to nearly 100% brightness at the factory to be eye-catching if used for a floor display, and old 8-bit game systems that used 16 colors. Properly setting the brightness and contrast, and using a modern PS3 or Xbox that has millions of colors and shades usually eliminate burn in. (Ok - there are some shut-in gamers that probably do burn in their screens by playing 10+ hours a day of the same game. You cannot fool-proof everything because there is always a bigger fool out there.)
Video games are one of the more difficult things to do on a computer. The same thing applies to a HDTV. The Motion Blur problems with LCD panels mean that Plasma is probably a better choice for someone who plans to do a lot of gaming.
For a family room, larger screen size, then LCD panels would be better.
Hope this helps.
