Plasma burn-in first-hand

----- HDTV Magazine Tips List -----

Shane - On the subject of shopping for a new TV - what
would be your perfect TV? Specs, inputs, size etc.
Personally I'm waiting for Sony SXRD with 1080P inputs
but I'm curious as to what you are looking for.

I don't have a complete vision yet, but here are some scattered thoughts:

- in my current room, DLP (1080p)
- but my wife likes the one's that hang, rather than sit. If we go
wall-mount, it will be LCD
- in my (eventual) home theater, front-projection of some sort (probably
DLP) ... I've not done much research yet
- our current TV room is roughly 25x15, and we sit approximately 17ft from
the TV, so the bigger the better.
- I've always liked Samsung & Mitsubishi, but the new Sony's looked great
at CES
- It must have HDMI w/HDCP
- my DVD player already has HDMI
- my STB is still limited to component, but I will be upgrading that soon
to a DVR anyway (once DirecTV releases them)
- component input would be nice to support my gaming consoles (PS2, Xbox
360)
- multiple inputs would be nice, although I will probably upgrade my Denon
to one with HDMI switching before long.

I think that's it.

Shane, without meaning to ask you to provide any
personal information, can you give an
approximate - general - estimation of what price
range to anticipate for the system you described?
The reason I ask is, this matches closely to my
"dream" (next) system. Except for the "hanging-
LCD" - I'd prefer to stay with DLP - and
ultimately an FPT. Can you comment on your
reactions to the X-Box-360... I haven't yet made
the switch from the old X-Box - matter of
priorities, rather than desires!
Thanks...

Technically that is probably "short term image retention", not "burn
in" since you were seeing it fade away. Just as bad or worse a
problem in my opinion.

If the display was used normally for a while, all traces of that
Vegas arrow would likely be gone, but then again, if the loop was
shown long enough, something like that would likely eventually burn in.

"Technically", neither would be an issue if the plasmas weren't still in
"Torch Mode", with the contrast cranked to "Max".
If you watched it that way at home, you'd have "short term image
retention" & "burn in" issues with your retina as well.

In my experience, image retention on Pioneer plasmas traditionally has been
an issue at any reasonable contrast level. So, this is not a torch
mode-specific problem, though there's no question that the problem is
quicker to surface when contrast is set too high.

I haven't seen the latest Pioneer plasmas up close, but through the xx50
standard models and the x20 Elites, this issue has always been present.

That was not burn in but image retention. Wasn't that just lovely...? It
is a by product of how the technology works; nature of the beast. Plasma
certainly has its attributes yet imaging science is not their forte. LCD
and SED is gonna kill it in this regard. I sure hope Pioneer is keeping
this in mind. SED will have that plasma look without the technology
imaging problems.

But, that is exactly what burn in looks like when it stays there no
matter what.
