Plasma TVs are subject to screen burn in (image retention). However, image retention is much less likely to occur if you operate your Plasma monitor under normal conditions. Normal conditions are defined as continuously changing video patterns.

In general, you should avoid keeping a static picture (that is, a picture that contains no or few moving elements) or a picture with static elements (black bars, black borders, logos, etc.) on your Plasma monitor for extended periods of time.

Samsung has added a couple feature that will help to prevent and eliminate burn-in.

Current model Samsung Plasma monitors are equipped with a Pixel Shift function which reduces, but does not eliminate the possibility of screen burn in. There is also an All White Display function that can reduce or remove the effects of screen burn in.

even if it does, you have the screen burn in protection feature with this TV. You can actually refresh the screen and reverse any burn in. You should run it maybe once a week just in case.
