The burn-in problems of plasma were limited to the first generation sets. Unless your set is on 24-7, you can expect an average lifespan of 10-15 years...enough time to be ready to replace for newer offerings anyway.
I was wandering around Best Buy a couple weeks ago while my oldest was checking out ways to spend his Christmas money and some gift cards that were just burning a hole in his pocket and wandered into the tv section and they had a 50" Samsung DLP. I was amazed at the picture clarity. Screen size vs. screen size it was actually the least expensive. If space weren't a consideration in my humble abode I'd definitely consider one. Unfortunately my rooms are small and cramped already and the DLP was considerably deeper. Compared to the pull out projection tv we had in our college apt. they are downright slender, though!
