Hi
I have a 42 inch Panasonic GT30 , love it! Bloke in RS talked me into buying Plasma and Ive never looked back ..
Babied it for months, well over a year, had it set to auto switch off / lowered contrast etc - all the stuff they tell you to do ....
Now its got to have hundreds of hours on it and it still looks awesome, except now we have a baby and the Wife has left a kids TV show on (baby TV) and so I now have the logo in the top right hand corner of the screen! Ive seen her leave it on pause for an hour or two more than once, but never for a constant long period of time (like never 3+ hours etc). There is also evidence of the SKY pause logo in the bottom left corner
Ive run the"Wipe" for a few hours, snow for a couple of hours, multi colour screen slides for a couple of hours, and watched a few hours of TV on channels without logos .... Its still there. Sometimes I think its getting better - other times I think its just as bad as ever
Ive read, and Ive read and I've read and every thread on every forum just ends up in the OP never saying weather they sorted it because the Plasma haters come along and start with the usual cr*p about you should have bought an LED LCD or how you have to expect this....
Bottom line I suppose is, how likely is it that this will be permanent / how realistic is it to think that screen as new as mine is is highly unlikely to experience Burn in (as many people seem to be saying)
Thanks
