Best of these 3 for gaming?

This is sort of a follwup to my "college student" question...


I went to Best Buy and CC today and narrowed down my choices to 3:



Panasonic TH-37PX60U 37" Plasma $1999


Samsung LN-S3251D 32" LCD $1599 (at Circuit City)


Sony Bravia XBR KDL-V26XBR1 26" LCD $1999



I'm a hardcore gamer. Most of the time my TV is on, I'm gaming on my 360.


Now, the Panasonic Plasma had the best picture (although the Sony XBR was very close which surprised me; I had to watch them for about 30 minutes to decide). However, I worry about burn in with heavy gaming on a plasma. I would watch a lot of SD on it until I can subscribe to high def, but as I understand it the zoom feature on this TV is very good and it prevents burn in.



The Samsung had great picture and a sleek design, but for some reason the zoom mode on the standard channel they were using on it in CC was disabled and the SD quality was not too great. I don't have HD subscription at my college yet so most of my tv watching would be SD.



The Sony had an amazing picture. It rivaled a lot of the plasmas although the colors seemed slightly (just slightly) unrealistic because they were so bright. It was also only 26", while the Panasonic plasma was 37" and they were the same price.


So what do you guys think? Which would give me the best gaming from a lifespan standpoint and a picture quality standpoint?



Thanks!



PS If you guys want to throw in any other suggestions below $2000 and between 26-37" (wall mountables only), feel free. The sweet spot is 30-32"
