In 2 months on display, it'll likely have had half a year's worth of use by the average person plus a lot more cosmetic damage ...
this particular model is on the wall and has a one piece glass constructed over screen unlike the conventional LCD with a lip and frame.

So besides the poking, I guess the plasma life span has been shorten about a year--- since its on all the time?,

Do i have to worry about burn-ins? also what if They offer me extended waranty, will that be worth my time and money to buy it then?
