I am not sure where you live but here in Florida a comparable LCD is cheaper in price than a plasma.
Considering the fact that they are saying a Plasma can use as much juice as the fridge, it could add up to an extra $20-$30 a month, depending on how much you run it.
Also,I am not all too convinced about the screen burn thing not happening. I absolutely could not watch TV stretched or with gray bars. So what does that mean? With DirecTV I have both boxes using black bars for 4:3 content on SD channels. If I had a plasma, I'd have to be careful and either stretch it or use gray bars.
Also, with a six month old baby, I find myself pausing TV and video games a lot, and leaving the screen for a long time while I clean up a messy diaper or feed a crying infant.
