Hi, folks,
I'm feeling things out for a new TV right now, and the EC9300 has caught my attention with its picture quality. However, some reviews I've read have mentioned that it has some issues concerning image retention. Since I play video games somewhat often, this could be a bit of a problem; there's often a static health bar or some other onscreen overlay that remains unchanging for lengthy periods of time. That might result in an afterimage when switching to a cutscene or whatever. Thus, I thought I'd ask the folks here, who may have more hands-on experience with the TV. So: Just what is the image retention or burn-in like on the model? Does anyone have experience with playing games on it that can lend their opinion? Also, how do people find the input lag? The reviews seem to find that it's not too bad, but again I was seeing what practical usage has shown. This is a somewhat lesser factor, since I don't generally play first-person shooters, i.e. something requiring really fast reflexes. However, I'll occasionally get the odd quick-time event or something like that, so I'm searching for a TV with a reasonably low lag.
