I'll have to dig up the other review I was > reading where they talked about burn-in as well. Marketing people may dismiss the problem, but then again they're trying to sell product. I googled the manual for the Panasonic plasma TV (model TH-42PA20U/P) and on page 29 it says: "SIDE BAR Do not display a picture in 4:3 mode for an extended period, as this can cause an after-image to remain on the side bars on either side of the display field..." Translation: Yes, plasma sets DO suffer from burn-in. This is true of CRT based sets as well (which is the kind I have). Be aware of it, and take steps to prevent burn-in. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
