Image retention is pretty much a non issue with modern sets. While older generation plasmas would retain images like crazy, it's near impossible to have them stick around on newer ones.
Just as an example -- I played a good 50-60 hours on Ninja Gaiden Sigma. If you don't know, the
hud is very colourful and it is nearly always on the screen. Of course, the after image persisted after I switched to another channel, but after an hour or so of watching a movie/playing a different game, it was was only noticable if you put up a bright white image and closely inspected the screen.
I used to worry a lot about image retention initially, but after the 200 hour break in period, it hasn't been a problem at all.
