I'm in the final days a long tv search for my new basement. I'm finally going to have the dedicated space for whatever kind of setup I want. 
So, i've narrowed down my decision process to a few tvs and the one i've already put money down on was the Sony 60-XBR950 LCD Projection. I felt this was my best bet because I do like to play videogames and I just didn't want to worry about burn-in and the like. This is also considered to be the best LCD Projection tv available.
So, before I make the final delivery I just want to make sure that I wouldn't be happier with a plasma. They certainly take up less space and I love the viewing angles. The Sony LCD is pretty darn good in that area but still not as good as a plasma.
The 42" Sony XS910 plasma has caught my eye recently and I just want to give that set one last look before I decided for sure. So, i'm looking for opinions on my situation and what might work best for me. Here are my viewing habits.
60% HD and SD tv
25% Xbox gaming
15% DVD viewing
With that ratio does anyone think i'm at risk of burn-in? Of course I don't plan on watching 4:3 material on this set at all. I'm just worried about the static images in games and even the static portions of a baseball game in HD for instance. Can you burn-in the logo from FOX sports if I watched 6 hours of football on a Sunday afternoon?
Theses are the types of things i'm wondering.
I've also seen people mention "power supply" problems withs plasmas? What is that all about?
I'd appreciate any input or insite that might make my decision easier. I'm just at that point where I know i'm buying a tv that i'm going to have for years and I don't want to regret my decision 6 months down the road. Thanks.
