Plasma TV / PS3

[Lethal_NFS]

I don't know about you, but I treat all my stuff properly. I could own something meant to withstand explosive blasts and I would still baby it.

The more expensive an item is the more precautions I take using/handling it.

If you properly break in and set up a plasma tv, you will have nothing to worry about unless you intentionally set out to induce burn in.

Well you are wrong about "if you properly break in you will have nothing to worry about". I properly broke it in for over 100hrs. Plasma tv's have temporary image retention no matter what you do. The pixels have a memory and it takes time to wipe that image. Some tv's do it faster than others. I however hate the fact that it even had retention. My LED has none of that. I baby the shit out of everything I own. So me not taking care of the tv is absolutely not the issue.

I have my pc hooked up to the tv so the retention was insane on the plasma. Nothing on the LED I have.

I also hate how much heat the damn plasma put off. It literally would heat the entire damn room.

I have pixel shifting turned on and never had an issue with my Samsung plasma. I have to admit it was a concern when I bought it, but I was willing to take the risk for much better picture quality. I should mention that I don't play a lot of games on it, but I have never had an issue with network logos burning in.

I should also mention that mine runs fairly cool. I have several components that run hotter.. Receiver, PS3, Directv DVR, etc.

Point is to say that every plasma suffers from IR is incorrect.

All plasma tv's have image retention. That is a fact.

Well than my eyes must be lying to me, since I did did not witness any on my friends plasma tv at his Christmas party last week. Or pretty much any other newer plasma in other peoples homes.

Yes they do, it's a nature of the tech. Some more than others, but they all have it.
