quote: How is an LCD panel repairable? Whereas a plasma panel not? You cant repair either, you can replace either but not repair them. All three of your 'comments' ended with 'I think' 'IIRC' and 'apparently', how is this supposed to help someone with a problem? I helped Matt out by telling him to ignore your comments! :lol: | |

quote: Odd one that, ususally if it run-in properly for the 200 hours, image retention should be almost non existant unless you leave it on a static image for ages. I know my Pana plasma gave a bit of retention at first on my PS3 but did the run in and now its fine. Do you find it retains mostly when playing games with static info on the screen or just watching TV? | |

If I'm wrong then fine, I've got the stones to admit that, but your comment was not helpful at all. [Edited on 02-02-2009 by Daveskater] | |

quote: How old is the Samsung mate? Sounds like static image retention, not screen burn. In the first 200 hours, plasmas should be 'run in', using low contrast and brightness. This helps prevent image retention in the future. Panasonic plasmas are much better than Samsung all day long. | |

You'll be hard pushed to even breathe on the New Pioneer range with any LCD. | |

We have had our Sony 42" Plasma for about 6 years. No problem with it at all and it been used everyday for TV / XBox etc. | |

My dad has an 50" panasonic plasma, absolutely brilliant picture, he done loads of research before buying one, best brand are pioneer followed by the panasonic which use pioneer components, as for screen burn thats a load of tosh on these brands anyway. Plasma's are well worth the money imo. | |

Personally when we got ours to have it at max setting would be stupidly bright, so put it on half brightness... looks spot on and hasn't dimmed at all yet. In 6 years the dimming probably won't be that noticable, plus by then I'd be ready to get a new tv I think. | |
