I was just wonder upon experiencing just that...
I have a LCD-tv myself and haven't experienced this problem, but I had my Wii over at some friends house, and apparently the wii-remote can "lock on" to light from the plasma-TV instead of the sensor-bar, if you're directly in front of it. We did however solve this by hanging some mostly see-through fabric over the screen. Apparently that took what ever infrared light being emitted... or at least reduced it significantly for the wii-mote to only see the sensor-bar.
I thought nothing more of this and figured it was just a single freak occurrence with their pretty cheap Plasma-TV. However another friend of mine mentioned yesterday that his parents wii seem to have problem with aiming being inconsistent and jumping about. Since I know they have an 50" plasma, I told him about my first experience.
The thing that makes me wonder, is that a quick search on google doesn't seem to report of other people having noticed similar problems with using a Wii on a plasma-TV.
Just wondering if anybody has experienced something like this on their plasma set-up.
