Plasma Burn-In

The burn-in issue does bother me, but luckily, I don't play games or computers on this TV.

One thing that does nag my mind is the fact I do watch quite a bit of 4:3 material, and the side bars causing burn-in. Or movies with bars on top and bottom.. I absolutely HATE stretched 4:3 material in "Wide" mode!

What Joe says comforts my worries, but I can't really find strong documentation elsewhere:

"Image burn-in pretty much experienced a dramatic decrease about 6 years ago with the introduction of 60,000 hour model plasmas. Even before that, there were/are simple procedures to follow and use that made this issue negligible. Nearly every plasma made in the last 3 years will not have an issue with burn-in."
