Screen Burn

I've had my Panasonic 42" plasma now for about 4 weeks. I play a lot of Pro Evo on the 360 and when up close against the TV tonight I noticed there is an image of the score that is displayed on Pro Evo in top right hand side.

Will this eventually disapear when I play other games/watc movies etc?

Cheers

No andy mate, your score will always show you being beaten

Even when you watch other stuff it'll be there mocking you!

Have you left it on for long times running pro evo?

It's well known not to use a plasma for games if they have logos. The screenburn can be removed with a white high contrast screen (the plasma should have a mode to do this) however this reduces overall contrast of the screen/lifespan, it removes the screen burn by burning in the screen even more, but equally.

considering that plasmas have a lifespan of around 60,000 hours the lifespan isnt going to be affected too much by using the whitewash option.........
