To those who say Plasmas burn in ...

We just got an NEC plasma here at work for our network monitoring display. After only an hour with a graphic on there when I switched to something else, the graphic was still visible for 2 hours.

Needless to say, I dug up the orbiting setting (to slightly move the screen around) but that's just rediculous.
 
Which model of NEC plasma screen is it?

What settings are you using on the screen?

I have a plasma and it has no screen burn.

That's not burn in... even when the technology was crappy and it caused burn-ins, it wouldnt' have burned in that quickly. What you're seeing there is just residual image, it'll go away when the monitor cools and the plasma settles.

I'll go dig up the manual on Monday. Ready to head out for the airport tonight.

It's a new 50", using the RGB signal from a PC through a converter box.

you've gotta be kidding me. This is how plasmas work? I'm glad I neve bought one for my apartment...

My only previous experience with plasmas was in the late 80's and the engineers at a company I worked for had lunchbox portable PCs with plasma monochrome screens.
 
Because your screen is still new. The phosphorous are lite for the first time, so they're going to be brighter and hotter than normal. It'll take a few weeks for it to settle into it's 'normal' mode.
 
I'm surprised how many AT'ers here jump to conclusions, if it was this bad then I imagine they would have done something about it 😉

The long term problem with plasmas is that they lose brightness. They look great for the first year, but get dimmer and dimmer over time. I'm not sure about burnin.

Um that's not true. Most plasmas these days are listed at 60,000hrs half-life... which even in the worst cases, means it'll last at least 10 years... but more than likely the average life of these will be 20 years or so... which by that time, most of the plasmas buyers now (early adopters/folks with $$$) would have replaced them anyways.

Your tv loses brightness over time also but because it is 'gradual' you don't notice it. ONLY when you compare side by side after many many hrs you may tell a difference.

Believe what you want, but I worked at a company that supplied the internals for the display. We used CVD to create many of the plasmas used today. This is from our internal testing. Understand that we do not make the entire display, just the internals of the display itself. That's as far as I'll go with it, and I won't mention the company etc.

Did you do the 100 hour burn in before leaving static images?

No... What is that? It wasn't in the manual that I saw...

That is basically not having the contrast and brightness setup too high and also not leaving a static image on the screen for too long for th first 100hrs or so.
