I would be very careful in buying a Plasma TV in that size range. Many are low resolution...some of them aren't even HD.

The problem with buying a 42" HD plasma is that it has a fvcked up res (normally 1024x768). How is that 16:10 or 16:9? It sure isn't a full 720p res (1280x720). I'd either recommend an EDTV plasma 42" (GREAT for viewing SD TV and DVD movies), OR something larger (50"+). If you HAVE to have a 42" plasma AND want it to be HD, go for it, but that res irritates me. :|
As far as burn it, don't worry about it. Check out avsforum on plasma break in guidelines and you'll be just fine.

EDTV is something like 852x480, so it's able to display 480p dvds, but has to scale down HDTV feeds. 1024x768, is kind of considered hdtv, since it can display the 720 lines for 720p, but it can't display the 1280 horizontal pixels, 1024x768 is either a 4:3 display or it has rectangle pixels (not ideal) instead of square.
