takecare plasma tv user

i just buy 1 month ago a new 3d 50inch panasonic plasma and play a lot of game
and yesterday i play 6 hour FINAL FANTASY XIV arr and my interface print in my new tv :(
maybe the interface are very dark ?

Well, this sounds bad. Maybe adjust your T.V.'s brightness/contrast controls so that the image is not so intense?

Your fault for playng a game whit static UI on a plasma. I made the same mistake once (wow) switched to lcd the same istant i noticed the burning

I was wondering about that, but I'm not really knowledgeable about plasma screen technology. I know just enough to know that I don't want one...

Any time you have a static (non-moving) image on a plasma screen for an extended period of time, it will create burn-in, resulting on a "ghost" image appearing on the screen. Thankfully, this can be remedied if the burn-in isn't too bad. There are various movie files that some people download and play on the screen for a set amount of time, or you could simply watch a few action movies.

yea better too drop everything , not a huge burn but got some shadow of the interface , i will change my interface transparent next time

I know they are less expensive but why...WHY would you buy a plasma? Need recharging, heat up an entire room dramatically, and the issue that you have just described. Did you do any research? I mean I feel bad, but come on. LCD all the way...

I initially setup a makeshift desk in my living room to play FF14 on my 58" Samsung plasma. It has "image retention protection", as well as an option to run a side-scrolling black to white gradient to remove images. After an hour of play, it took 3 hours of the scrolling gradient to remove the action bar and chat text from the screen. I went ahead and moved the new computer into the computer room, and moved the old gaming rig into the living room.

I love the game on the big screen, but only when I'm actually playing :D

I use a Samsung plasma with no problem. Try turning down your brightness and contrast and turn down cell light if that option is there.Also check your t.v.'s menu and see if you have pixel shifting or pixel orbiting and turn that on! When plasma's first came out you had to break them in,today not so much. Some plasma's have an option for a screen "cycle" or "wipe" try that. Good Luck.

LCD is better your mistake was buying plasma.

thank for all advice everyone

I bought a 50 inch plasma about 2yrs ago , and have done 20hr gaming marathons and have fallen asleep for hrs with a static, screen , My t.v got a option on it , that will clean my screen of the burn in. It only takes 15 minutes to fix. So you may want to look into your t.v. menu setting and look for it. It called a anti image retention also make sure you got it running in automatic mode. , and then in the options screen there is a scrolling bar that wipes it out.

Thats why they came out with IPS LCD/LED Panels. I have a 50" IPS LCD TV. I can still see the screen with proper colors standing almost parallel to it.

I never have this issue with my plasma....rule of thumb when buying a new plasma ALWAYS break it in.... leave it on for hours either cycling colors or static...let out do that while you're at work, school, etc.

Lulz. LCD is inferior in almost every regard except for power consumption. Lousy viewing angle, mediocre contrast ratio, non-uniform reproduction of color due to polarization and viewing angle... sometimes so bad that colors become reversed. Horrible refresh qualities; image ghosting happens with fast moving images.

IPS displays get around some of these issues, but they still have lower contrast ratios and slower refresh. You just cannot match the black on a plasma display. LCD is LCD, no matter how you bake it.

Yes. The new plasma displays are virtually immune to burn-in after the first 100-200 hours of operation.

My 52" was shut off when I went on vacation for two weeks, it was attached to my Raspberry Pi and was in powersave mode due to the pi being turned off. Somehow the Pi got turned on 3 days after we left, according to uptime, and the display was static for 11 days and some change... and it was a high contrast image; white text console on black background. Within a day of using a moving image to clear the ghosting, there is no evidence whatsoever of the previous image.

Wow..please stop giving bad information to that foreign person... Plasma is the best for any high rate video game... lcd? seriously..did the guy at walmart tell you that it was better? google something called refresh rate.

Were not watching a Law and Order marathon in our pajamas...were playing video games

Pshhh... I took the frame/bezel and back cover off of my plasma, put it on the big oak island in the den, and you can view the image from the back side of the display. You can't get any better than 360º viewing angle. Who cares if the image from the back is reversed. It does make watching baseball a bit interesting... running to 3rd base first and all, but who cares! 360 degree video!

Blows the best on-market Plasma out of the water in multiple room lighting conditions. I've done side by side comparisons in multiple lighting conditions (with both sets fully calibrated with a calibration Blu-ray disc). As have others on various AV forums and AV sites. It also sports the LOWEST input lag of any HDTV on the market. Hands down the best gaming TV on the market right now.

LED FTW!!!!

Technically speaking, an LED TV is also an LCD TV, as the screen on both is a liquid crystal display. An LCD display has two layers of glass that are polarized and joined together, the liquid crystals then pass or block the light to display the television picture.

The crystals do not produce any light as the light comes from a series of lamps at the back of the screen. On an LCD TV, the lamps at the back of the screen are fluorescent lamps, whilst on an LED TV the lights at the back of the screen are Light Emitting Diodes (LED).

If you want the best in picture quality among LED TVs, technically it will have to be one that has 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.

Comparing side by side, LED TVs generally have better black levels and contrasts than their LCD counterparts. Color accuracy is also slightly better on an LED TV

Lulz... that edge-lit POS. Yeah, you can totally see the non-uniformity of the light field, especially with dark scenes.

Try harder.

You're probably one of those types that thinks that LED = LED pixels instead of LED backlight. You probably also fail to realize that most LED backlights are edge-lit and thus suffer horribly with uniformity.

also LED has an even longer life then LCD and consumes even less energy and gives off even less heat.

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.
