Re: Plasma TV experiences. What Brands??
Ok, I wasn't aware this was no longer an issue.
The only other rap against plasma I was hearing was dependability, which also, based on what's being said here, isn't an issue. Maybe this was manufacturer specific too, I don't know. |

Maybe this was manufacturer specific too, I don't know. There is the issue of IR (image Retention). IR is a temporary faint image that remains on the screen. If you use a menu or other high contrast image on a plasma, you will be able to see a faint image of the menu for a brief time (seconds) after the menu image is removed. This IR will not be permament (Burn In) but will dissappear as soon and another image is displayed where the IR was. On my Samasung if I leave a guide menu up from my DVR and turn the set off or on a channel that is mainly black, you will see a very faint image of the menu page from the DVR menu for a very brief time. I will really only notice it if I look for it. Some people mistakingly think this is image burn, but it will not be permament. |
