My new Panasonic plasma shows burn-in on hockey games (only shows up on the very white ice of HDTV, not noticeable otherwise.)

The burn-in lasts about 24 hours and then goes away so I am not completely flipping out. But I am careful now not to leave it on one channel for more than an hour if it has one of those dumb lower corner channel signatures.

But sports in HDTV (on the plasma) just blows your mind. Movies and Discovery and PBS documentaries are also amazing.

But I'd buy a Sony LCD next time.

Thanks.

The LCD Sony looks good.

oh no! I've had my panasonic plasma since last Feb. and it has no burn in at all. have you turned down the settings or do you still have it on vivid? I will say that for the first couple of weeks I was like a nazi with the kids - did not let them leave the tv on a station with an 'insignia' for more than a 1/2 hour or so.

Write the execs and sponsors a letter telling them that it is harmful to your expensive television set to watch their channel for long periods of time.

Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
