Try harder.

Don't troll. With as against LEDs as you seem to be I guarantee you haven't owned that set. You saw "edge lit" and made an assumption based on that. Unlike you i've actually done comparisons with the actual product. If you don't want to take my word for it then do some actual research on the product yourself. But I doubt you'll bother. Plasma fanboys are amusing. As for LCD vs Plasma, I don't prefer one over the other, I prefer whichever gives me the best picture (all picture quality factors included). Which is why I bought both and did a comparison myself (and then returned the set that had the inferior picture).

read my above post compair LCD to full-array back lighting with local dimming. The individual zones of LEDs can be dimmed or brightened independently, making it more flexible and suitable to an individual’s taste and preference. LED wins every time.

Google White wash plasma TV and maby this will solve your problems. it will blast white images to the screen for a few mins.

You are correct. I haven't owned that set. I saw that one and the KDL-47W and they both had issues with color saturation with certain viewing angles and they both had issues with fast motion, despite being touted as 400+Hz refresh. Their motion clarifiers tended to over sharpen images on fast moving video.

I am hardly a "plasma fanboi", and I would gladly buy an LCD display once I find one that I am satisfied with. They exist, mind you, but not outside of the $4000 price range. The only advantage that LCD has going for it right now is that the 4K displays are generally LCD only, but then again, there really isn't much in the way of 4K content at the moment.

See I didn't personally see any of that in set 900A that I bought. I was comparing it with the Panasonic TC-PZT60 Plasma and of the two, after calibration, the 900A had a noticeably better picture in all of the lighting conditions I set up during my comparisons, and also sported virtually ZERO input lag.

Mines just fine. Maybe you guy's got bad tv's?

Well no shit dude.... Plasmas are not meant for gaming.... and it is for this very reason...

I know that there are anti-burning (programs?), not sure what they are called, you can run on newer plasma TV's. I know 1 is a white screen bleaching, another is like a rolling white bar, the one I use most is a setting that shifts the picture in very small increments every few seconds, the UI never stays in one place long enough to burn in. If I stare at the UI I can see a tiny shift, but rarely notice it.

You shouldn't be playing games on plasmas. You can try to use the built in system that will "wash" your screen and help with the burn-in. But nothing you do will help, anything that is static on the screen will eventually burn in on plasmas. Also if you got it for a good price, it is likely an older model. I hear the newer plasmas are better, but why chance it.

Nice a bunch of Sony Tv owners,

To Arminus, I'm so jelly. The W900a is one of the nicest tvs ever created. You have chosen wisely. Triluminious display, 960 motion flow, X-reality pro processor and local dynamic backlighting. Just a fantastic set. I bought the HX850 last year and it shares all the specs but the triluminiuos display.

To Zenmetsu, the w802a is a pretty fine set you have, but just to be clear its not 480hz, but 480 motion flow. Your tv has a 120 hz native panel and uses the backlighting and frame insertion to increase the motion rate to 480 fps. Rejoice your tv has the lowest input lag of any flat panel LED or plasma. With a fantastic .18 ms even with processing on.

To OP
Your Plasma will heal itself over time burn in or the new more friendly term image retention, will work itself out over time. Plasma no longer have the issue of permanent burn in anymore. So have a deep sigh of relief your tv will be fine.
