It's sad, but baseless rumors kill plasmas more than anything. I sell TVs, and people come in unwilling to even talk about plasmas. Sometimes its due to glare issues, but 90% of the time its nonsense like "Burn-in" or "recharging". People actually think an hour of CNN's ticker will kill their $2,000 TV.
My favorite is the people who buy a DLP because they think they have to "recharge" plasmas every 5 years. Hope they can get that lamp replacement quickly enough...
While I like LCDs a lot, I hope that Panasonic carves out a great niche market for Plasmas. Their quality of picture is tough to beat (except maybe by Pioneer's plasmas), and that new glare-proof glass is very nice.
