1080p versus 720p

I have a 1080p TV but play in 720p because vsync is disabled in this game and screen tearing in 1080p is horrible compared to 720p. Also I don't notice any difference in graphics quality, if anything anti-aliasing is better in 720p so less jaggies
 
This is a way too easy question for an answer. Yes, with the 1080p has more pixels per square inch of the television (of course). but, it may cost a little bit more than a 720p replica version. Try looking for a deal for a 1080p widescreen tv for to get the best out of the drive of your life.

Where? at a store display? When the brightness and contrast are jacked to max and display static images all day?

You def didn't see it in a home environment.

Yes, I have to admit I've seen it in store. Settings are unknown. I do not mean that burn-in can happen during ten minutes of displaying the same image (or part of it), all I mean is it can happen. Do not believe all those PR promises that it is a problem of a past.

The same goes to phosphor trailing.

This certain TV set I'm talking about presents movie trailers all the day. Sometimes you can notice that there are "unwanted" horizontal lines on top and bottom of a screen when there is a movie with different aspect ratio than most of the other movies.

There is no doubt plasma has the best blacks, the best contrast, the lowest response time. All I'm saying is that burn-in and phospor trailing exist and I'm very sensitive to it, so I'm buying an LCD with worse parameters, but with more stable future perspective.

Operative words right there.

I have had a plasma for 4 years and not even a new one a 720p/1080i Samsung 42 inch. I've played a LOT of video games on it and even left them paused for a while. I have NEVER ONCE had any burn in. They aren't going to happen if you're not leaving it on all day playing movie trailers.

PS I have seen regular old CRTs with burn in as well, and they were running the same news station 24/7.
 
I tried both 720p and 1080p on my LCD (1080p native). There is more AA in 720p (cars look really nice), but the backgrounds will look horribly pixellated compared to 1080p. Generally, it's best to run in the native resolution of your TV.

Let me add something interesting on this topic: "I also examined image retention and I have to say that retention can occur. I saw it more than once and I also think that C8000 / C7000 has a tendency to create a bit more image retention than the B850 from the 2009 line-up but it’s not critical. This is probably caused by the 3D panel the outputs more light and we saw the same thing on the Panasonic VT20 / VT25.

Samsung C8000 / C7000 review​

It’s gone shortly after and I definitely saw much less retention after my break-in period. Some reports say that the 63 inch version has less image retention but I wasn’t able to confirm this because I only had the 50 inch model on the test bench."

These reports just do not make me confident to buy a plasma, sorry. But I believe there are customers who will be happy with a TV like this.

I play on a 1920 x 1080 60hz pc monitor and the picture is amazing, I also however work in one of the UK's largest Electrical stores and would have to say that plasma completely and utterly smacks lcd/led picture quality into the dark ages. Led give better colour and contrast to normal lcd but even that doesn't come close to plasma. In my opinion for screens of over 32 inches you cant beat and should never choose anything other than a Panasonic plasma, the picture quality, colour reproduction, contrast, sharpness and refresh rate render anything else useless including even a top of the line Sony LED.
The only time I see screen burn on plasmas is on Samsung and LG panels and even then its few and far between.
A large screen LCD/LED just cant compete when it comes to giving that natural sharp vibrant image of a plasma, its kind of like the difference between watching tv on a tv compared to watchin on and lcd pc screen a few years ago, you can always tell its not quite how it should be.
If its smaller than 37inches then go for a decent 100hz LED to maximise the contrast and colour depth, stay away from 50hz as the game runs as all decent ones do at 60hz.
