Does Panasonic VIERA plasma TVs have burn-in problems?

Plasma shares the same technology as CRT. Has your CRT ever burned in? I have seen several!! However I have sold Panasonic and Samsung Plasmas for 4 years and had few services issues related to burn in. The have Pixel Shift with shifts the image every so often to prevent burn in. Also you DVD now have screen savers to prevent burn in. If and when you press pause on your video game and walk away for a few HOURS you will come back and see the burn in. At that point you press Menu and find Screen Wipe, you will see a white screen or a white scroll. Let it do its thing for about 20-30 min and the burn in will burn out.

New Plasma Display by Panasonic improved on " heat ", it reduced heat by 30 %, Power consumption ( W ) is only 26 % high than same size LCD display , ( compare to old Plasma Technology about 52 % more ).Life time up to 60,000 hours. Technically Plasma Display can be more easy " burn-in " , but so far 97 % of Plasma TV user are happy with the products for the pass 12 years. less that 2 % user have to replace Plasma Panel because of " burn-in , * more than 6 % LCD user change the LCD display panel between 3 years ,because of low quality panel from those local / in house brand * Technically LCD Display will last longer than Plasma ( subject to TV manufacture also ), However , to enjoy Quality pictures , real Dark colour / black colour .fast monition response that LCD/LED TV can never prouder, just paid abit more electric Bill ( less than $ 6.oo monthly ) switch on 10 hours a day ,use for 10 years .and new big screen Plasma TV prices is 35 % to 40 %less than big screen LCD TV ( compare to 42/46/50/55/65 inc ). is good deal for Plasma ? right ? unless you want you TV work for 14 years , but technology keep changing , you will change you TV about 6-7 years .

First of all i own a Panasonic Veria and its such a awsome tv. I think if burn in happens it doesn't just happen in just a few minutes it takes hours i think. Don't forget that LCD tvs also have issues that plasmas don't have like the picture quality dropping if your sitting on a angle to them, fast moving subjects tend to blur the picture ( the new models are spouse to be better), Colours not as deep like backs looking grayish instead of black. There is also the difference between HD Ready and Full HD. Full HD will give you the best possible picture quality possible but will cost you more to buy. HD Ready tv's won't have as good picture quality but they will be cheaper to buy. Having said this HD Ready tv's are still pretty good just if you want the best possible make shure the tv is Full HD. HD Ready and Full HD applies to both LCD and Plasma tv's. My advice to you is Panasonic Veria as i have one and its such a awsome tv. also Samsung is not rubbish by any means but really Panasonic is better.

If I Was you i would go for an LCD. Plasma TV's have been known to have burn-in problems especially with games consoles and in the long run i believe LCD's have a better life span. If your just watching tv on it then it will probably be fine but if your into your gaming then i would say go with the Samsung 6 Series. Another thing Plasma TV's are more Power Consuming than LCD's, If you desperetly wan't to buy a Plasma then Go with the New Panasonic VIERA NeoPDP It Has 600Hz Technoligy and full 1080p. Hope this Helps!

1.) Burn in is no longer an issue. 2.) Many of the newest plasma TVs are Energy Star rated, meaning they are effecient with their power. 3.) Both LCD and plasma TVs are rated to 60,000+ hours, meaning they will last longer than you will ever have them.
