Image retention

[Covertghost]

You have to take a break every few hours for about 10 minutes and run the progressive scan thing for a few minutes.

Menu - Setup - Anti-Image Retention - Scrolling Bar

This will happen with ANY game that has a static HUD if you're playing for long bouts at a time.

Mine is the V series, but I'd be surprised if yours didn't have this feature as well.

You're right, opacity setting would be nice, but minimap, skill icons, would still cause burn in.

The built in scrolling bar feature works well for regular treatment, but heavier burn-in requires something of a longer duration. The videos I posted above work in a similar way, but can be looped when downloaded and saved to a thumb drive. The one with the colored circles works particularly well.

Covertghost I run the scrolling bar for a full 15 min run every hour. I am sure it helps the IR, but it is not completely preventing it. I am also lucky enough that it is not too bad and I feel it will go away in a week or so. I would however like to prevent it from happening in the first place and transparent HUD elements would do that.

CappinA I have a PS3 with some music downloaded on it, and I set it to repeat all tracks and run the visualizer full screen over night with good results. Just be sure to use the menu to disable the track name ect from being displayed or else it would do more harm than good. I will check out those videos you use, thanks for the links. Im hoping they address this soon though. I have had mild IR issues with the health bar in Bioshock Infinite (after playing just that game start to finish) but that went away after a night of PS3 visuals, this has been days and is slowly getting better... I want to play again so bad but I just can't!!
