I bought the Samsung Plasma 5 series and I love it so far. Image retention is curtailed by pixel orbiting which basically moves the picture around by 1 or 2 pixels all the time. It's so suttle you can't really see it and it does the job.
Some also come with pixel crawling which to me reminds me of a magic-doodle or whatever they are called where you draw on the magnetic screen and then slide the switch and the bottom to erase it.
It basically goes totally black on the screen and slowly crawls a white bar along to reverse any retention. Not sure if that's purely a Panasonic feature.
Anyway, to me Plasma was the way to go. I love sports and gaming and the TV is in my basement. The picture is gorgeous on the Dynamic setting. Brighter and more beautiful than my friend's Sony XBR 6. Seriously.
