I am thinking of buying a Plasma display and I have 3 Related questions that I have yet to find answers to regarding image-burn:
Plasma manufacturers/FAQ's always say something like "do not display static images for an extended period" - but what is an "extended period"? Will I have problems after 1 min, 10mins, 60mins, 1 day or what?
There is a lot said about pontential problems with side-bar burn-in if watching 4:3 stuff. I won't be watching much of that but a lot of DVD's are displayed in some letterbox format which essentially means you will have bars top and bottom throughout the film - is this going to be a problem?
Lastly, what about if I want to play PS2 games on it - most games display scores etc in a static place on the screen - am I going to ruin my expensive plasma if I play a game for a long time?
Any advice/experience from Plasma owners appreciated.
