Help picking tv...

So I haven't shopped for a tv in like 5 years and its time to replace my old 37 inch toshiba thats only 720p and has a scratch on the screen. Looking to spend about 600-1000 and will be using it mostly for hooking up to my pc for streaming hd movies and playing games + watching some shows as my secondary monitor. Mostly interested in picture quality at 1080p and don't care about 3d, smart tv or any of those features. Would like a tv between 40 and 47 inches. I want to pick the tv up in store but would order online if it was a really good deal. Here are a few I'm kinda interested inhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889102668&Tpk=Samsung%20UN40EH5000

Any reasons for picking the Panasonic ST50 ? Seems like I will be paying a lot just for the fact thats its a bigger screen and has 3d.

Leaning towards the ST50 now. Is burn in still an issue with plasmas though ? If the screen is focused on 1 image for a while will it burn an image into it ? Thanks.

I fall asleep in front of mine all the time with the same screen on for up to like 3-4 hours at a time there usually is some image retention but never burned in. I usually use the built in anti retention thing and its gone or play some cartoons for 15 min or so. Either way I got a 55" after alot of research and am very happy with it

i would go with the panasonic viera plasma and maybe check their website to make sure you getting the best one for gaming - you definitely don't want to get stuck with a $1,000+ hdtv and not be able to game with it.
