what about people saying plasma have burn-in issues?

Posted by centaurus3200 on July 1, 2011 at 15:21:23:
there are people who say plasmas have burn in issues - especially with gaming (of which i do NOT play) and that the tubes loose their oomph after as little as 1,500 hours - making the blacks more grey looking.

do plasmas have burn in issues any worse than say an old CRT computer monitor? i had a radius 20" for years - FINALLY, i started seeing a burn in of my desktop and it stopped being sharp. do LCDs NOT have any burn in issues?

i'm sensing this is either BS or based on REALLY old plasma displays.

but is there any reason why a decent plasma won't look as good as new compared to an LED/LCD after say, 10 years? we watch about 2 hours a day - MAX on the TV.

basically, will LED/LCDs outlast plasmas? i'm not talking freak breakdowns - i'm saying will the picture get worn-out looking with one compared to another over time?
