My electronics hate me

the newest plasmas actually shift the image a few pixels every once in a while to keep burn in from happening. You can't see it, though.

I've had a plasma for 4 years and gamed on it for the first 3 of those and haven't had any burn in problems.

I have mine set for the most often pixel shifts it allows me but I'll still get image retention from channels logos.

but no actual burn in, right?

You can also help keep this from happening by breaking it in for 100 hours or so on lower brightness and contrast settings. Out of the box they're most often set on insanely bright torch modes that wow you (and hurt my eyes), but you adjust to the lowered settings and stop noticing any difference after a few minutes. After 100 hours you can put the settings on whatever you want.

Yeah, I did all that but will still get some IR. Typically its only on the stations that has a very SOLID logo, the ones that are kind of transparent do nothing as far as IR. Yeah, no burn in though. If I notice it lasting for a little while once I change the station my tv (Samsung) has a couple different options (other than the pixel shift) to get rid of the IR.
