The quality of a non-native signal depends on the quality of the unit's scaler. I'll go ahead and tell you that they're all shit (although the scaler in my LCOS is somewhat tolerable). These days, it doesn't really matter, because there are a few audio receivers out there that do very acceptable upscaling, like my new H/K AVR 245.
I don't have much experience with plasma technology, but based on the burn-in threads here and there, I would believe that it does happen, even with pixel-shifting technology. If you're worried about black level, you might want to try an LCD that features a glossy screen, which is useful in hiding black level inadequacies.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
John Mayer just asked me, personally, through an assistant, to sing backup on his new CD.
