While LCD and rear-projection sets have issues of their own, at least you can replace the back light when it goes.

This was true a couple of years ago, but isn't true anymore. And burn in is not an issue anymore. If you don't believe me you can always ask the experts over at

Well
here's a thread you might want to take a look at before deciding on what TV to get.
EDIT; Here are some pictures of the Pioneer Elite in action:
