Haier 42" Plasma LCD TV? (3)

I'm getting my bonus tomorrow and my TV (NEVER BUY PHILIPS TVS FOR THEY ARE MADE OF SUCK AND AWFUL) has been dying for the past year and a half or so. It's got two big blotches after watching for 20 minutes; they dim the brightness and leech away the color. It's really on the crap.

I want a plasma TV. Plasma is preferable to LCD for me from what I've been told, and this looks like a pretty good deal:

It seems to good to be true. Of course, it's a no-name brand and has no HD/ED tuner, but I can always get one of those in the future if the need arises. It looks solid, I can always get a replacement plan, and with the new iPod Hi-Fi, I can have a pretty decent set-up for now and when the PS3 comes out, too.

I'm not a huge TV watcher, but I game a lot, and the TV we have in our living room is also a Philips that is crap. It's blurry, not enough to affect regular TV watching TOO much, but playing RPGs is out of the question; the text is unreadable.

Any thoughts or experience?

I read horror news stories on the internet about logos being burned into the screen of plasma TVs... though I suppose that for gaming it doesn't matter.

Games often have static UI elements that can lead to burn-in of varying degrees. Why do you think LCDs are bad? Also note that the linked product is not a television, but a display.
