I have a friend that works at best buy who will swear that the latest generations of top tier plasmas are virutally impossible to burn in. We have half a dozen plasmas at the bar where I (occasionally/used to) work. Monday through Friday they were always on sports networks, usually with information bars or score boxes. No burn-in to be seen. Thats also pretty much the concensus at
http://www.avsforum.com/ which seems to be the most popular and most reliable forum about tvs (and everything else AV related).
I'm not saying that burn in is impossible, but you'd have to be pretty ignorant and try pretty hard for it to happen. Potential for burn-in should not be an issue with current plasmas.
