Do Plasmas still suffer from burn-in from lets say execessive video gameplay? Fujitsu 42" is the subject.

Adam, I believe they still do. Unfortunately, I haven't seen anyone advertising their "burn-in proof" plasma TV..

any plasma can still get burn in, most these days have pixel shifting software , so static images wont burn in. but static images left from a game for a long period of time ( 30 minutes or more will slowly start to burn in, higher contrast and brightness settings will decrease the amount of time it takes for burn in to occur. your pretty much safe from burn in as long as you dont pause the game for long periods of time and avoide images that stay on the screen just as a character icon in the game that doesn't dissapeer.
if you dont have the fujitsu 42" yet, than you should consider a Large size Lcd tv.Comment

That's why DLP is Gamer Friendly, no burn in.
If you play a lot of either FPS or Racing games, where the HUDs are often on screen for long periods of time during game play, you are best to go with a DLP TV.
Digital Audio makes me Happy.

Not necessarily so. I play games on my CRT which is more burn in prone than plasmas and never see any.
Plasmas are not burn in proof but it's very difficult to burn one in. Just be cautious the first 100 hours.Comment

I've heard it both ways: plasmas are easier to burn than CRT, plasmas are harder to burn than CRT. Of course, it depends on what type of CRT you're talking about: direct view, or projection.
I would guess that newer plasmas and direct view CRTs are more or less equal in terms of burn-in risk, while projection CRTs are more at risk. But I could be wrong.
On the other hand, I would rather risk a cheap direct view TV for video games than a plasma, if for no other reason that the direct view is cheaper to fix/replace if something does happen.Comment

Thanks guys!AdzComment

Yup any poshor based display can burn in. However if properly setup/calibrated and not in "torch" mode and used without leaving static images on for prolonged periods, there should be little to no risk. As Kevin mentioned, CRT's are a more affordable risk.JasonComment

The latest plasmas are supposed to be less susceptible to burn-in than a regular CRT.Comment

I've fallen asleep while playing a videogame on my 65" rpcrt with no problems.Comment

you would have to pause a game for months to achieve burn in
especialy considering that 360 dims when paused as i assume ps3 will. it is a non issue
as easy (read hard) to burn in as an lcdComment

Hello,
I am having unexpected problems. I connected a denon 3910 to a fujitsu plasma. I used hdmi from the 3910 to the fujitsu plasma and analog audio to the receiver (nad 773). The visuals do not show on the plasma. In the meantime I have used component connection (from 3910 to screen),... -
I just came back from looking at tvs at J&R Music in NYC. I was looking for at the Sharp 37 and 42" LCD which are pricey and the salesman suggested looking at plasmas. He said that the Plasma Burn-in issue was largely solved using tech. nology that rotated pixels, put grey bars on the sides... -
just recieved my new fujitsu and was wondering if anybody could give my a clue as far as calibrating the plasma and what settings have worked for them. plugged it in and plasma was just way too bright. Also wondering if it is worth getting it ISf calibrated or if using video essentials is good en... -
I'm a new plasma owner (Samsung HPN-5039). I keep hearing and reading stuff about burn in. However, a lot of DVD movies and even HD Television is transmitted in aspect ratios well above 16 x 9 which results in dark bands at top and bottom (letterbox) or in 4 x 3 which results in dark bands at the sides...
