Burn in on Plasma.

That's not burn-in. The new buzz-word by the Plasma-making industry is "image retention." It's more politically-correct, and doesn't scare off potential sales.

Do a search on avsforum.com under displays, and you'll see comments much the same.

By the way, the same thing happens with my plasma.

My Panasonics do it as well. No worries, as you said it will go away by itsself after a while.

Don't the newer models of plasmas eliminate the whole burn-in (I don't like being politically correct) thing? I thought they did.....

I think if you leave an image on a plasma for hours and hours and hours and hours, days, etc, etc, then it can get permanently burned. But as I understand it, it is much less of a problem than it was a couple of years ago.

Yeah, permanent burn-in is a thing of the past now. Although I wish game designers kept in mind when they place static power bars and such on the screen, they could make an option to turn off all that screen info, or at least make it dimmer. Full screen, uncluttered hd games look soooo nice ie: Gears of War...
