Does anyone have any information regarding image burn-in on plasma
screens? Specifically, I am concerned about the channel logos and
tickertape border displayed by CNN, because we display that particular
station two-three hours a day.

Any insight gratefully received.

I've seen a plasma burn in in less than 6 hours before. Channel logos will
burn in.

I work at a tv station, and about a year ago, we integrated a 42" plasma
screen into our news set. It has a logo on it about 5 hours a day, and we
are very careful to keep it turned off when not on the air. The logo
burned in TERRIBLY within 3 months. Then, at about 8 months of age, the
monitor died all together and had to be replaced. It was an NEC, and it
was a major component failure, I can't remember what though. Then the
Samsung we replaced it with had to have some input panel repairs at only 3
months of age. It is now also burned in after 5 months, but not as bad as
the NEC was at that age. These monitors do not get excessive use. They are
only powered up about 6-7 hours a day, and have a logo on them about 5
hours of that time.

I was considering getting a plasma screen for my home until our
experiences at work scared me away, so I went with a large CRT instead,
and I'm VERY happy with it.

I've had my 50" Pioneer plasma for about 17 months now. Both CNN and NOGGIN
have been on the set at least 2-3 hours each and every day we've had it. No
burn-in of the logos at all. I do see some aging effects where unstretched
SD content was displayed, but that is going away now that I put the monitor
in low power mode when the kids are watching (mostly cartoons). I have also
tuned the monitor with one of the home theater tuning DVDs (don't have it
handy so I can't tell you which one). Overall we've been extremely happy
with the monitor. I am planning to get another one for downstairs. With a
little care you shouldn't have any problems with the logos.

For the most part, you're only going to get long term burn-in if the same
logo/graphic/whatever is in the same place *all the time*. And if that's
the case, you're not going to notice it on the active screen, because that's
where the logo (still) is. . .

Plasma technology is the worst for burn-in. It also cost about 3x more than
CRT rear-project. Plasma is disposable technology for the wealthy who don't
mind throwing money around or the ignorant consumer who thinks the more you
pay the better the product..
