We recently bought this set 2nd hand, it's very old (2002!) but the picture is still decent and more than good enough for DVD playback and HTPC over dvi.
Decided to wire in the old xbox 360 and pleasantly surprised that it also supports 720p over component - pretty impressive for a 15 year old set.
Anyway, had a quick 5 minutes playing halo and when I switched the console off the HUD outline was still glowing and clearly visible on a black background. I know screen burn is an issue with plasmas but did not expect this to happen in such a short space of time.
The glow dimmed back to nothing within a few minutes but if I played for say an hour or so maybe not?... Are these early pioneers particularly susceptible to screen burn or just temporary retention?
