Plasma owners any problems??

I've been very happy with my Marantz, and I had the same concerns you did when buying it. No problems at all. Only "problem" is that HD material looks so good, when you switch to a plain digital source it suffers in comparison, and analog stations look comparitively blurred. Hopefully there will be more and more HD programming.

Love my Fujitsu HD. Problems so far:
1. Possible burn in along edges when watching 4:3 material. Most commericials are still 4:3 even on HD channels.
2. Lots of heat, not a major factor in New England, but would be in Florida.
3. Fragile- Make sure you know what you are doing if you install yourself.
4. You will find yourself watching some pretty pathetic content, just to gawk at the HD PQ.
Awesome picture.

Zenith 42". No problem at all. Love it.

I am happy with my Philips plasma. Only issue is the HDMI signal sometimes has trouble syncing with the TV and you have to turn off/on the sat box to get it locked up. After that, no issues.

No problems with my Fujitsu although it was a replacement for one with a few stuck pixels. As another said, heat in NE is no problem.
