burn mark on plasma?

ozcrabby,

I can appreciate the frustration, but nobody here has ever said, "Don't worry about it". I've written quite a bit on the subject here, but that's history. Let's see if we can solve the problem.

Image retention or Burn-in, depending on how bad it is, can go away with normal use ad Scrolling Bar.

One of the things you might try is the Scrolling feature in the Burn Protection Menu. Run that for an hour a day, coupled with full screen mode television. If in a week no progress is made, it may be damaged. In many cases, this will reduce or remove problems.

If you're using this as a gaming device, that's likely where the "turbo" burned in.

For games, I would recommend using dimmer settings (movie mode, perhaps, or with lowered brightness), as this will reduce the ability of getting image retention. The manual has specifications on static images, and this includes static images in games, so use those as a guideline.

I hope it's of some use to you. We do have technologies to get rid of some of the light retention, such as pixel shift, which I recommend using.

Keep me posted, and good luck.
