Just got this new 42 inch plasma TV - GoFuckYourself.com

Matilda PP · 02-09-2007, 09:32 AM

I absolutely love it, especially hanging on the wall... but one thing is really bugging me: when you display a still image for some time (let's say a couple of hours), a shadow of that image remains pixelized, before eventually disappearing. I read it's common with plasma TVs... can anyone confirm and can anyone advise me on how to get rid of that if that is possible?

Give me your input!

you shouldnt let an image rest dormant like that or youll get "screen burn"

You had better not watch any news, sport or any channels that put their logo in the corner then ;)

Make sure you are not watching it with contrast at 100% and brightness up high. That will make the burn-in happen quicker. Often sets will come from the factory set on the "dynamic" setting, or whatever they happen to call it, which will have those settings way too high. Best to try to calibrate it with a calibration DVD, or just set it to "movie" mode.

Sounds like a clear explaination from someone who had the same problem. Will set that right away and let's see what happens...

There should also be some burn in protection, like pixel shifting that you should turn on if its not allready.

tony286 · 02-09-2007, 09:55 PM
