I have had plasma technology for about a year and a half now without any problems or burning in on the screen.

Plasma>LCD
No it wouldn't burn in all the time, Best Buy makes sure they have picture moving all the time so nothing will burn in compared to playing like a video game and have your health bar in the corner sitting there for possibly hours. Most LCD refresh rates nowadays are right around 5ms or less which is hardly noticable at all. Its not all about refresh rates either, anti-judder plays a role as well. Things I dislike about plasmas are they have to have the glass pane in front of it which creates lots of glare if you have windows in the room whereas most LCD's don't. Plasmas weigh more than LCD's do, use more power and run hotter, and performance can even be affected by altitude on them.

LCD has positives that Plasma doesn't and Plasma has positives LCD doesn't have. They are both few between the two though. IMO, LCD is better than plasma as I have had much experience with it (have 3 LCD tv's in the house currently and use to have an LCD projection tv before the current bigger panel we have now).
