Plasma HDTV

When buying a Plasma HDTV, one should be fully aware of the pluses and minuses this technology, compared to other types of High Definition Televisions. One of the things to be careful about when buying a Plasma HDTV is the risk of burn-in. However, this problem has been exaggerated by many. Users of Plasma TVs, who watch television for about 7-8 hours daily, have not found anything serious about this burn-in problem. The probability of burn-in is the highest in the initial 100 hours of use. To avoid burn-in, one should keep the Plasma HDTV at low contrast, not more than 50%, and refrain from displaying still images or letterbox bars on the tv screen for several hours continuously. A number of plasma tvs come with burn-in-reduction features, such as pixel orbiting and screensavers. Some of them are programmed with defense mechanisms. One for example, if burn-in takes place, the screen goes all white.

Once 100 hours of usage is over, the Plasma HDTV becomes long lasting, just like any other standard television.
