burn in is technically an issue w/ any type of display/TV. plasmas just happen to be more susceptible to it. As long as you don’t keep the same image on the screen for extended periods of time, it’s not a long term issue. As someone mentioned above, burn in (more correctly called “ghosting”) will occur, but can be reversed. My plasma has a “white wash” feature that blasts the entire screen in bright white. If I leave the white was on for a few minutes (5 is the max I’ve done), it’ll eliminate any ghosting I have. However, I don’t play games on mine, so I haven’t had to deal with scores and other such constant menus.
