I've had the Epson 8500UB for almost 2 years now and have never noticed any image retention; however, over the past few months, I've been noticing a great deal of it.
What I'm noticing is that whenever something static is left on the screen (for as little as 30 minutes), it will stick with the projector image for up to 20 hours. This applies to widescreen bars, TV logos, and even the xbox dashboard. Note that this definitely is NOT burn in, as the images do eventually wash away. It's just very surprising that images are retained after only 30 minutes of displaying static content.
The screenshots below show what happened after about 1 hour of FFXIII last night. After another 5-6 hours of content, they are still up there, but will likely go away after another 15-20 hours of viewing other content.
Has anyone seen this before on their 8500UB, and if so, any reason why it might suddenly start happening after 1.5 years of ownership (as viewing patterns haven't really changed since purchased)?
