True or false? 8th Generation Plasma screens (ie. the current models) are no more suseptable to burn in than CRTs.

What do you think?

Although the newer plasma screen's are defintaley less prone to burn I would not put them on par with CRT's. Hoever these days with things like pixel shift and whitewash burn in should not be a great concern. As long as you stay with the higher end plasma's. Panasonic, Samsung, LG, Pioneer, Phillip's.
