Regarding the image retention, it is only an issue if it is visible when you have actual content on the screen, not only over black fulscreen. If that is the case, mix the content - watch TV at least as much as you play games. Also, if you play games a lot, you should have bought an LCD or at least a plasma that has good burn-in resistance (Insignia are not some of the best plasma TVs out there). @PK: Pixel shift is the same as pixel orbiter.

If they would be square it would be 1920x1080. That means you won't get 1:1 mapping between source pixels and display pixels. I won't go into details here, though. What is important is that if you sit close enough, you will notice improvement between Blu Ray and DVD. @Frank: 1024×1080 means its pixels are not square.

What I can tell you is that a plasma TV very likely has a better picture quality than a DLP. @Ed Jordan: I know nothing about that DLP TV, I have never reviewd any DLP TVs.

On some models u can see it even after just a few hours of watching a channel. From that to becoming permanent it is a long long way, though. @Ahmed: That temporary image retention is normal with plasma TVs.

If it's for occasional gaming, it's OK. Unless you play games more than you watch TV, there isn't any issue here. 2. Right. 3. Plasma. 4. 650 has slightly better video processing, supports DLNA/networking and slightly better picture (colors seem a bit more vivid). Also it is 120Hz (not a real advantage). Strangely enough, users seem to have noticed that it has more input lag than 550, and because of that they say gaming is a bit better on 550. @Ward:

There are no 720p HDTVs larger than that. HD channels (1080i and 720p) look better than SD and DVDs (480p). Also, DVDs don't really look that bad either, they just have a softer image as opposed to the sharp and crisp image of HD programs and Blu Ray movies. For 15 feet, 58 inch is not big at all. You could even go as high as 65 inch if you put more value on how HD looks and you think you will eliminate DVDs in favor of Blu Ray, in the future. @Ed: The largest 720p plasma TV models are 50 inch.

Samsung has more accurate colors and better SDTV processing. Panasonic has better black levels. Since they are very similar, I would base my decision on the type of content I watch (if you watch a lot of SDTV/DVD, Samsung is slightly better), features and design. @girvin02: It’s not a big difference between the two.
