Plasma TVs and burn-in

Perhaps it does, but "I'm going home to watch choose a name obviously
calculated to impress" is the last thing on earth actually likely to
impress, certainly in my case at least!

I wouldn't bother with power hungry and OLD technology such as Plasma.
Tell your mate to get a new LED Samsung TV. Pictures are far better than
LCD and way better than Plasma. Why buy a 10 year old TV!
You do get burn-in on Plasma, especially on channels with DOGS, that's
why people hate them.





you've fallen for the marketing hype then - the current so called LED
televisions are actually still LCD televisions - it's the light source
that's LED only.

Err, the Samsung 'LED' set is still an LCD. And the pictures aren't
universally 'better' than other LCD displays.

If you talk to a bbc engineer, you will soon be told Plasma ar junk as burn
in can be evident within months.

I also hate plasma because they chuck out horendous amounts of radio
frequency interference which is very hard to get rid of if you like using
ordinary radios on telescopic aerials. They also of course eat the juice
from your electricity supplier.

Maybe he can get some fancy screensaver on his new plasma that moves his
wildlife camers around th screen to stop buren in?
I'm just glad I can no longe see these shadowy marks. It was bad enough in
the old days of crts.

Do plasma tellies suffer from burn-in or is that an urban myth? A mate of
mine really really fancies a plasma to replace his old crt set. Problem is
he has a number of cctv cameras around his garden used for watching the
wildlife that visits. These cameras are on rather more than any of the
broadcast programmes via a box which gives him a grid of 8 pictures.
Would he be risking it a bit with a plasma and if so how long does burn-in
take to happen, months or years?

Mines an LCD set so I can't really help him.

LED = LCD with an array of backlit LEDs. NOT an oLED TV.
Now sit the LED side by side with a good plasma and tell me which is
better on a viewing basis not because it has the letters LED in its
name. You do get burn in on LCD too. I know this as I work on ATMs
which have LCD screens and yes, they too can suffer from screen burn.
Who are these people that hate Plasmas? I don't hate mine, in fact I
wouldn't part with it for the latest multi Hertz 1080p thingy.

The "LED" refers to the backlight.
Other than that it's a normal LCD set

Samsung 'LED' TVs are LCD. The rest of your comments are similarly
accurate.

That's cos "Clive" is the Tiscali Idiot. That's right -- this groups
*other* personality disordered poster.

By the way, the latest LED TVs are "Edge LED" backlit.

It's not marketing hype to say that LED screens are thinner, lighter and
consume less electrical power. A quick examination of the facts will
reveal all these things to be true.

As for what to call them, the light source is the thing that is notably
different about them, and "LED display" is less of a mouthfull than "LCD
display with LED backlight.
