I sure have. The 2 Best Buys in the area didn't have anything interesting as far as open box items. I would normally take a look at a TV in the show room before making a purchase but these TVs are online orders only and I cannot find anyone else currently carrying them.

I think that says something right there, Tony.

For me I don't play games and I love to watch most sports and I will say I prefer plasma over LCD. However, I have no experience with LED TVs.

I currently own a Panasonic 42" plasma.
I will be using it for Movies, Gaming and I watch Football and Hockey. I would rather go plasma if I can be sure burn in is no longer a big issue (I know it used to be).

Can't beat the price on the plasma right now. From what I've read the burn in problem is gone.
