Imagine a pristine outdoor scene, awash in sunlight, with part of the picture (in his case, the middle of the screen) clouded over. Hard to explain, Very evident tho in scenes with a lot of whites.
You probably know this but you don't have to be a member of AVS to peruse their discussion boreds.
Re - Burn in.
Let me be perfectly clear on this, we watch mostly TV, so our Panny's screen is filled completely up. However, we watch rented or owned DVDs and BRD's maybe 3 times a week (6 hrs) on average and there are, on almost all of the films, black bars on top. We've been doing this for 2.5 years this month, so that's about 750-800 hours (6hours x 52weeks x 2.5 years) of black bars. There is absolutely zero burn in. None, nada, zilch. The only issue I know of with plasma, these days at least, is reflections on the screen in well lit rooms. Ours is in a pseudo media room, not an issue even with ceiling cans turn up all the way. Reflections would be an issue in our living room (floor to ceiling windoze on our north wall), that's why we have the Sony in there.
One last note, skin tones are realistic on plasmas, much better than on our Sony or friends' LCD/LEDs.
