50mxe20 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 (edited) 2nd attempt to get this to work right. Thread after thread about plasma burn in. So is it brand specific or random? Here is an attempt to poll all who have plasmas to find out. Sorry there are so many options but I think it is useful to count both the yes's and the no's. It does not take into account age or which version (generation) plasma you have. Maybe that can be asked at a later date. To cover the brands I have split all the options over the three poll parts. Sorry if you are missed out. (See "Other"). To vote you must answer each of the three parts. If your brand does not appear in part one, you must tick the option "None of these, go to next part" and proceed to the next part. The very last options of the 30 is for other brands that are not listed. Unfortunately, you do not get a say but you are welcome to make a comment. This does give one the option to vote more than once if you have had more than one plasma brand. Obviously, in part 3, Other (No) is probably meaningless because presumeably everyone has to tick something in Part 3 so this will be it? I have removed image retention (now burn in only)!

I can't think of another way around it at the moment and it's back to work for now. Also all the main plasma's are covered. The poll may not be tolerated anyway.

teacplasma Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 All plasma's have image retention for a couple seconds. It should be for Image Burn only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50mxe20 Posted February 6, 2006 Author Share Posted February 6, 2006 All plasma's have image retention for a couple seconds. It should be for Image Burn only I agree, I have changed it back. Can't change/edit the poll topic though. That is not allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murcod Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 All plasma's have image retention for a couple seconds. It should be for Image Burn only Exactly what I was just thinking. Either that or change the wording to "image retention for more than X seconds." Given that most readers on here should know how to set up and use their plasma's properly the results will most likely be skewed a bit compared to a survey amongst non enthusiasts who aren't careful.

PersianImmortal Posted February 7, 2006 Share Posted February 7, 2006 Poll doesn't work - it looks like you have to vote in all 3 to get a valid vote or something similar. I voted Panasonic No in the first section and clicked Vote and it gives me a "need to choose" error every time. Coincidentally, can we please stop the "bump"-ing of threads here. If a thread is truly valuable it will be automatically bumped by people responding. Bumping to get attention is very annoying, at least to me.

"To cover the brands I have split all the options over the three poll parts. Sorry if you are missed out. (See "Other"). To vote you must answer each of the three parts. If your brand does not appear in part one, you must tick the option "None of these, go to next part" and proceed to the next part. The very last options of the 30 is for other brands that are not listed. Unfortunately, you do not get a say but you are welcome to make a comment." So basically choose your panel (yes/no), and then choose the "none of these" in the other parts, and "other" in the last part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a thread is truly valuable it will be automatically bumped by people responding. Bumping to get attention is very annoying, at least to me. Polls don't get automatically bumped because people don't usually respond to them. They tend to slip down the queue and after a couple of days are lost. My plan was to do it only the once first thing in the morning. Thanks for bumping it for me though. Is this a subtle bump?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianW1503559681 Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 I haven't had an image retention problem with my Fujitsu (assuming this means logos and the like) - but as we have watched a fair bit of 4:3, I have noticied that the areas outside the 4:3 frame are now slightly lighter than within the frame - I can only really see this when viewing very bright 16:9 material. For the next week or two there will be no 4:3 viewing going on in our house. I do have the settings dialed down and we use the "fine" picture mode, and we only watched 16:9 (1.78:1) material during the first 200 hours.

50mxe20 Posted February 8, 2006 Author Share Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) UPDATED 9 February 2006 (11:30 AM Perth local time) OK, in an initial attempt to make some sense of this even though it may be a bit early, here goes. 150 votes is actually, only 57 real votes. That means a lot of people have not commented (voted). In the "What brand of plasma do you have?", there were 76. I'm sure many more could have polled there too. Of the 57 legitimate votes, there were 14 (24.6%) with burn-in problems. I think that's STILL pretty significant. However, on a brand by brand, the results of displays that DO have burn-in problems are as follows Hitachi (0 of 7) – 0% LG (0 of 4) – 0% Phillips (0 of 1) - 0% TEAC (0 of 5) – 0% (The 1 is image retention not burn-in). Panasonic (1 of 13) – 7.7% Fujitsu (3 of 10) – 30% NEC (2 of 6) – 33.3% Pioneer (4 of 7) – 57.1% Other (4 of 4) - Is this bad voting or real? - Have left it in the total. Other (No) is certainly meaningless. Edited February 9, 2006 by Lyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you confirm that you were the one vote I'll make allowances in the summaries. And any one else that let's me know. I might even be able to get Coral to update it but it will cost candy (for me to pass on).And yes I will post new summaries as more votes are added. Once a day.

So it may not be 4 out of 4 screens at all Would you like to expand on that? To me "Other" means screens other than those listed in the poll. No matter what they are, if the have burn in, then they need to be added into the total number with a burn in problem. Edit: As an indvidual class, yes you are right they cannot be classified. Therefore, I have seperated them from those that are named. Happy now? Edited February 9, 2006 by Lyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejm Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 (edited) By the looks of this poll, panasonic is well ahead of the others burn-in wise as only 1 out of 13 has had a problem where fuji has had 3 out of 10 and Pio has had 4 out of 7. These are the top 3 makers of plasma tv's as well arn't they? Edited February 9, 2006 by ejm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
