see i dont know what the case is for the new plasmas but my friends plasma lasted 5 years and he watched a lot of movies and played quite a few video games. when i was getting my tv last year i was told that the new plasmas are much better than the original ones. when i was looking for a tv last year i was just getting out of college and i knew i was going to be apartment hopping for a little bit and transporting plasmas sucks. you have to keep it upright so the screen doesnt crack from the weight.
also i think that on most plasmas if you have your tv on for more than like 2 hours you have to shut it off so it can cool down.
video games in general are terrible for plasmas also because if you are playing a first person shooter the health bar or hud burns into the tv.
as far as watching sports plasma is better imo, but i felt like i get more value with an lcd.
