Does it suffer from burn-in as bad as they say?
Is it frail? and do they have a short life span?
Does it suffer from any screen motion problems for gaming?

I dont know if anyone knows this one but HDTV's and my wii dont mix. I cant put my Wii in the 720P or 1080P resolution. So the image takes time to upscale resulting in a delay in every button you press (Its small but I notice it) . Do plasmas suffer the same problem when you try to use consoles other than xbox360 or PS3?

Burn in really is not an issue. I've had 12 hour COD4 marathons and have watched several hours on one stations before with no sign of burn in or image retention.

Plasmas are made from glass so you have to be a little more careful with them. Just keep them up right when you travel with one, other than that...there's nothing you need to do.

Today's plasmas have a 60,000 hour life span. Longer than almost anyone will ever use their's.

Plasmas have no problems with gaming. They have less than 2ms response times and there's no lag to speak of. Not to mention plasmas have a much higher motion resolution than LCDs.

I've used my Wii on several HDTVs w/o any issues. The Wii outputs 480p which pretty much any decent HDTV can handle w/o issue. If you have noticed a delay it was probably because of that TV, not all HDTVs in general.
