    I got a Panasonic Th50PZ85U,had it for over a month.got more than 100hrs. on it.
    No problems on reflection at all.using HDMI's ,and optical to Bose,and so on.Looks great,and sounds great.
    Has a VGA.I plugged in my Notebook.Put notebook res. to 1024x768@60hz.
    Looks pretty good.Plugged into my Bose 5.1 sound too.
    Notebook HP AMD64x2 Vista 32 bit Go 6150 GPU
    I tried a a few games,Tiger Woods 2004,FS2002 PROF.Edition.
    They looked real good stable FPS good.
    I know LCD is better for gaming because no worries for burn-in.
    True it's been said that the newer Plasmas are better now for no worries for burn-in like mine.but they do warn you.
    Watch using Huds,for example,so on.
    I did not buy the Plasma for total gaming,but it's pretty neat that it can do it.
    So should I be real concerned,and worried on gaming on the Plasma? Thanks.

    Laptop does not have a HDMI
    HDMI hooked up DVR-HD to HDMI Plasma
    HDMI hooked up to the Panasonic Combo DVD/VHS
    HP to old to have a HDMI,darn it.
    I have read a lot of stuff on Avforum before.

    i assumed it would have a dvi output, so you could use a dvi > Hdmi converterplug.

    I have had my Plasma for almost 3yrs now and do quit a bit of gaming on it. So far I have had no burn-in problems. The first week I got it I played hours upon hours of NFS Most Wanted with no ill effects. I do get what they call retention caused by the HUD but that goes away after a few minutes of normal TV viewing. So I really would not be to worried about.
