So, my wife bought me a plasma tv(1080p Panasonic). I have had it for a few months, and have had no problems. Unfortunately, I had a 6-8 hour marathon with Darksiders yesterday, and now when I turned it on, I am seeing some serious burn in where my sub weapon wheel was and my health bar. The question is is there a way to fix this?
Plasma TV Burn In

it will go away, I get them if someone leaves wii paused for a bit, but after a few hours of moving images, it goes away. The only time you can see it is in an all black screen.
1971 called and thought this was a lame reply. See what I did there.
Did you do a proper burn in when the TV was new?
When my plasma was new, I ran it for 200+ hours on different colored slides. This aged the pixels very evenly and made it "work in" so to speak. I can play games with HUDs, 4:3 content, and movies, and none leave in a burn, even after 3-4 hours.
What you are probably seeing isn't burn in quite yet. Burn in happens over a longer period of time. You are probably still seeing ghosting, which will occur to some degree after anything you watch on a plasma. Just run that built in scroller for a while and you should be fine.
If you want more info on the slides,I can probably hook you up with them. I got them over on the AV forums.

Durp.
This thread is getting waja.
And 1876 called and asked why 1905 is sending telegraphs when the telephone was invented in 1876.
Only a couple of months old? That's odd. Its really difficult to get burn in on new plasmas by the better brands, like Panasonic. You really have to screw up, like leave a static image on a screen for a week. I've never owned Panasonic, but do they have scrolling bars like Samsungs?
Always a good solution if you feel like spending more money to buy an inferior product.
