So, for you and the other plasma lovers posting here .. they no longer suffer screen burn-in problems, particularly associated with game machines?

Re: Plasma TV experiences. What Brands??

They have been improved to reduce the burn in issue. According to some info I read regarding this the statement was made, You shooldn't be anymore concerned about burn in than you were with your CRT tv. Iwould have to assume that a static image would leave a mark if left on for great lengths of time such as I see at the grocery store. They have large screens hanging about with this split screen image displaying a logo and the other side has a chef giving you cooking tips. For my home use burnin is a non issue

Re: Plasma TV experiences. What Brands??

Another vote for a Panasonic Plasma.

I bought the TH-42PZ77U at the end of November when Sears was having a great sale on them.

Easy to hookup and easy to use the menus. No problems so far. I have the TV in a room where 3 walls are windows. I do not have any issues with glare, as this model is treated with an anti-glare of some sort.

Good luck!

I use two large Screen Plasma at work at we run static pictures on the screen for about an hour and never had any burn in at all.. they are about 3 years old. I'd have to climb up and check the model numbers.

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.

yeah I was a little concerned about the static pictures at first but it does not seem to be an issue anymore.

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.

We got our Panasonic TH-50PZ700U just after Thanksgiving. We got a Sony PS3 on Christmas. No problems with either, so far.
