Hello,
Just purchased the Pioneer 427XD. I receive it tomorrow and was wondering if it was ok to play my xbox360 on it at first or is their any (legitimate) reasons why this is unadviseable?
I still see posts about Plasma retention and burn in etc. I sought the advise of a reputable dealer of both Plasmas and LCDs (small business with qualified staff) and he advised that you would need to watch BBC News 24 (or similar) for a couple of days non-stop before you'd see any image retention on the new range of Plasmas and even then it would go after 10 mins of watching something else.
Can any owners of this unit please post their experiences/advise for the initial period of owning one of these (or similar) TV's? Advisable settings, what to play what not to play etc.
If you read the manual for these things you'd be scared to swith the thing on (if it didnt say don't leave turned off for "prolonged periods").This is something I'm a bit cheesed off about. The use of the statement "prolonged periods" how long is a "prolonged period". It is used in the manual to cover almost anything. I can play my xbox for a couple of hours non-stop. Is this a prolonged period or are they talking days?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
