You have to be aware of it, but I wouldn't say worried. Plasmas are still more prone to image retention than any other display technology, but things have improved greatly in recent years. Just keep in mind
[listc0b3316857][lic0b3316857]Don't pause the XBox or DVD and go to bed or leave the house.
[lic0b3316857]Don't play strictly 43 TV (with side pillars) for days on end with no widescreen content to fill the screen. I just stretch 43 to fill up the display all the time, you get used to the slight distortion after awhile and don't notice it anymore.
[lic0b3316857]If you hook up to a computer, use a blank or moving screen saver
[lic0b3316857]Don't leave it on the same channel for long periods, if the network uses a static "bug" at the bottom of the screen that is always visible. This is a common source of retention.[/listuc0b3316857]Other than that, normal TV viewing habits are safe. )

Check in the DIY forum for more info on it. I think the one that I did (e-research group) is dead because it is now 8 offers + 5 referrals. But I got in when it was 8 offers + 1 ref.

As with all I-Deal sites, you fill out and sign a W9, but you don't have to get it notarized.

Didn't want to make a new thread so I need to know about these two stand/bases

http//www.tvauthority.com/Plasma-TV-Stands/Panasonic-TY-ST08K.asp

They are different models but they would both work right?
