Harmful to plasma screen?

279 Views 1 Reply 2 Participants Last post by  lkinley
When I play certain video games on the plasma or even with some movies the entire plasma screen is sometimes not utilized. One of my PS2 games fills the entire screen except maybe an inch on either side, which looks like it is turned off.


Does this harm the monitor or because there is no static image no damage is done.


Thanks

Burn-in will only occur if this is all you ever use the monitor for. If you mix up your content, ensuring that you get some that fills the entire screen, it shouldn't be an issue.


If play games on it hours on end, day after day and don't display anything else, you'll probably notice some burn-in after a few months.
