Plasma TV question?

  • How long does it take to burn an image in a plasma TV screen? I bought a 42" Panasonic Plasma to play XBOX 360 and yesterday I was playing Madden 07, played for about 45 minutes ...show more

  • Answer:

    Wow! Panasonic would have you believe that PLASMA is better than LCD.... http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=5478 Personally, I bought LCD because of the nill burn in possibility. I've heard that there is a "warm up" phase to new plasmas where you keep it on for a certain amount of time and don't play games on it until it's been used for a certain period of time. But if you pause the game and forget about it for 20 minutes here, 30 minutes there.....heck yeah, get ready to see it all the time! GO LCD!!!!!

Not a very good idea to buy a plasma and play or watch games or programs with parts of it which stay on the screen straight away (eg: bright station watermarks, scoreboards, newstickers, GUI of games and etc). I heard that to reduce the risk of burn in, don't run anything for a long time for at least 200 hours after first using the plasma. The good news is that the more people wait to buy new plasmas, the less time they have to worry about burn-in occuring.

thats one of the reasons why i brought a lcd, it had more uses than a plasma and there was no burn in.

I can't answer your question but I did hear that the static features in games (borders, logos) will burn into your screen fast. Some TVs offer a setting that offsets stationary pixels to keep burn in minimal. Check your manual for it.
