Is anyone else getting a "ghost" image on their plasmas after watching a world cup match?

They seem to disapear after a short while, but could this cause any harm? :/

Cheers,
Mark ;)

If it was on long term then yes. You should be ok with a footy match. You wait till you get a bold logo (ITV, Sky Sports)

It`s not easy being different. It`s not easy being cool....but somehow I manage....

It`s called `screenburn` and affects plasma but not lcd.

Don`t panic though because unless ur screen is part of a waiting room or something (displaying the same thing all day long) it will gradually disappear as new images burn it off. Can permanently burn an image though if left for a long time, so just be aware that`s all, no need for panic.

It is advisable to steer away from the bright static logo`s/displays if viewing for longer than, say, 3 or 4 hours, which is why retailers will steer you towards lcd if you are a serious game player.

Console yourself in the fact that plasma is still king when it comes to picture quality and resolution. Deeper blacks, brighter colours - dream on lcd owners !!!

Oh and ignore all these so called stories of lcd having a longer life span. Yes, it is true but plasma (on average viewing times) should still last you up to 10 years. Who is going to keep their screen longer than that ??? I can`t really see lcd owners sticking with their 32" or whatever until 2026....... I say "so what ?"

Happy watching,

HD is ok, but not quite what i was expecting ....... Better i suppose, but some quality material in normal def is perfectly acceptable in comparison. Nature progs, etc, though are far superior in HD. Just depends on content i think.

Did I just see Dr 42%er get pwned ?????

I mean he gave a One lined semi answer and "davo171066" gave a 14+ lined answer ?!?!!?

( And the subject was TV`s ?!??! GASP !!! )


K ( Never thought that I would see the day that happened ?!? )

PS - Make way for the new boy in town please !? ( LOL )

...what`s the bloody point of the logos anyway? Now that it`s all digital, it tells you what the channel/programme etc is when you turn over - and if you`re ever not sure, all you have to do is press the "i" button for the info... Is there any need for the logos? :/

Cheers guys...
The logo went after about 1 hour,so panic over.
Why do they insist on leaving them static?
GMTV are a pain for that too (& sky news with the "active" logo)
Thanks again...Appreciate it :)

My answer was presice (sp) and to the point. How many of Davo`s 14+ lines were about lifespan and the like that were not asked for?? :p Only joshing.
