I have a 51" Samsung 1080p 3D plasma. It was only $800.

I don't know why anybody would spend twice the amount for a similar LED display unless they were in a bright room and don't want sunlight reflections on the glass.

The colors are brilliant, the active 3D is excellent, and the viewing angles are insane. You can see everything even if you are looking at the TV virtually side on.

Plasma burn in is a real thing but it is not a big deal at all with new plasmas. It's not really burn-in but ghosting because it's not permanent. I've left videogames on overnight when I fell asleep and true enough, the image was burned in when I woke up. No problem, the TV tools include an auto-scrolling greyscale burn in clearing mode. You leave it on for 1 minute and it scrubs all the pixel ghosts away.
