Yes or no?
Ok, please forgive for bringing this subject up again. I've searched on "burn-in" in the plasma forum and the consensus seems to be that while ghosting is very common and easily remedied, permanent burn-in has not been officially reported by any forum owner. Forum participants have cited public displays that have been running for years without such effects.
I was looking at a plasma review by Gary Merson in Sept/October 2002 "The Perfect Vision", where he stated that "all plasmas are highly susceptible to it.....", and that you should never use black sidebars as they "will guarantee eventual burn in".
If burn-in is a phantom fear being promulagated by law-suit averse manufacturers to cover any and all possibilities, then why is an independent expert like Mr. Merson perpetuating this "fear and loathing" burn-in possibility towards plasma displays? Shouldn't someone who has worked with plasmas all these years know what the real story is? Or is he confusing ghosting and burn in?
Appreciate everyone's indulgence in this much discussed issue.
