I wouldn't worry too much about that. A TV is vented on the back side, so any pressure change is between the room and the inside of the plasma cells. The glass is going to have its greatest structural strength at that level.
That said, I've got to throw my experience out there. I wouldn't buy plasma again. I had a 2 year old Toshiba plasma fry itself recently. PDP shorted, took Y-ctrl and Y-sus boards with it. I always knew that high-curent plasma would not be as robust as low-current LCD, but I was figuring WAY down the road. The TV tech was telling me that over 90% of his business was plasma, and the average age for baking itself was 3 years.
So be warned. Plasmas may best be considered disposable items. Multi-thousand $ disposable items...
