Hi guys, Ive been going crazy for the past 3 months lookin to get a tv but i am now finally going to purchase a sammy ps50c7000 at £1350 with a 5 year warrenty which i think is not a bad price. But ive never owned a plasma and have read somet tales about burn in. IR and that the most important time of a plasma life is the first 100hrs. But if this is the case what should i do for the first 100hrs? I dont want to damage my soon to be new screen. Any help/tips would be greatly appreciated
Many thanks
ramzijw,
The best advice i can give you is to do what i done when my Panny G20 arrived....leave no static pictures on screen (ie photo's and menu's) for long periods and don't watch ANY content in 4:3 ratio as the borders introduced to the sides of the picture in this ratio can cause IR and if you are really unlucky some screen burn. If you have a games console i would also refrain from extended gaming sessions too just to be safe, but just give it 2-3 weeks or so to settle in (depending on how much you use it) and from then on you should have no concerns.
