Recently I decided to install my gamecube on my plasma I have upstairs as I haven't finished a couple games on it via the Wii since getting several new Wii games over the last couple of months. I was playing one of the metroid games and had the game on the inventory screen when I went for a bathroom break. A little later I turned off the TV and was then looking as the nice image of the inventory screen still on the TV with the power off. I turned the TV back on to regular TV and then switched through the channels for about 10 minutes. Next time I turned the TV off you could still see some of the old image outline but it was greatly reduced from the previous version. After a day or so it was totally gone.
My main concern is for my TV in the den. I've finally sold the old RPTV and am starting to do deal hunting for a new flat panel. I was planning on getting ~ 52" plasma, but as this TV does see much more video game use than the one upstairs I am much more concerned about burn in here. I don't have the brightness or contrast turned up on the current one, and I thought that burn in was supposed to be greatly reduced/eliminated. I often watch hours of sports or news on the upstairs plasma and have never noticed any type of stagnant images.
