3D - 2

Samsung PN50A450 - is it that good?

I'm looking at the this tv on the future shop website...http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0770HDS0010099752&catid=...and I'm wondering if this is a good tv or not. I'm trying to figure out whether to go with lcd or plasma but when I saw the specs on this tv and the fact that it has 3D technology it's kind of too good to be true. It's cheaper than a few of the lcd tvs I have been looking at but it's so much better at the same time. Why is the tv so cheap? Are there anythings I should know about? Would you go with this plasma or some other tv like an lcd? For this tv I'll probably be using it for gaming and movies, along with obviously everyday tv. Thank you for any help. sorry the link on futureshop is http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0770HDS0010099752&catid= yes, I was thinking about the burn-in effect on the tv, however the features include "anti-burn-in tech". Does that really work or can it still suffer this problem? So lcd is the best way to go? or could I still deal with this tv as long as I make sure I don't game for too long and take any precautions to the burn-in effect.

1. If you will be using it for gaming I would highly recommend an LCD. Plasma television do have superior picture quality, however with many video games there will be a stationary image, which can lead to image retention on a plasma. "Pixel Orbiter" is a wonderful technology, however I work as a home theater installer and have seen severe burn in on televisions that claim to have pixel orbiter. It is more useful on Television broadcasts, if you game for more than four hours you may still notice image retention.
