Hey, sorry to spoil your hopes, but if you "break" a plasma or lcd tv, very few of the components can be repaired.
So if you burn an image into you plasma tv, you'll need a new one.
I find that the big danger to plasma buyers is the station watermarks in the corner of the scree. In Australia, Win Television broadcasts an HD Chaneel with nature scenes to promote HD technology, very nice and it goes for about an hour. If you leav it on while entertaining or just as a back drop or "screensaver" the large WINHD watermark will soon become and HD watermark.
The same could happen to CRT, but crt tv's are still the way to go. Give it some time and LCD will become viable, but Plasma, No WAY, they last five years and then there gons, eight years at best.
Hope this helps.
