Can anyone comment on the screen ghosting/burn in issue with these? Was it ever resolved?

Mine was so infected with adware and spyware when I received it. I called Dell, and they said they would clean it, for a fee!!!!! Returned it - last Dell I'll ever buy.

I've had mine now for several months and haven't seen much on this. I did notice in the upper corner a slight burn but odd as it is, it went away. So my screen is perfectly fine. However, I only use mine for my studies in Grad school so usually only have up email, word docs, PDFs, etc. Nothing to intensive on the screen, plus it is set to hibernate every ten minutes off activity. Hope this helps, a lot of this will depend on your usage, how you have the screen settings etc.

Contact Amozon and they will refund you your money. I have had issues with some of the screens I have ordered as well. Most of my bad experience with the screens come from a company out of Orange Hong Kong.

Hi Michacel,Yes, ghosting issue is a disgraceful issue with the TKY after 1-5 weeks of use. Joao Teixeira

First let me say that I have failing eyesight, which is the reason I purchased this monitor. I have not noticed a ghosting problem however I do have trouble reading text with Win 8.1.

I've tried but don't notice much if any of a startup delay. I'd say they are at nearly 90% brightness instantly.

I swear that I had a discussion about this (some thread somewhere else) ... either way, my problems have been fixed by switching to another TV (Hannspree 42") i'll try to find the thread and post it here

It sounds like there is a prob with the pixels.. i would return it, and get a replacement.

Not for me so far. I've seen comments from other owners that have reported burn-in. The internet consensus seems to be that burn-in is possible.

Hey Donald, I just replied to you on another one of these discussions and will do likewise on this one. Regarding the viewing angle, do any other 8 series owners think it... well... sucks? If I move so much as 5 degrees one way or another, the colors (particularly the blacks) start to fade. Wondering if this is one of the concessions for the 8 series' slim profile.

I owned the Samsung plasma PN50B450. My home was recently burglarized and the TV was hauled off. I am here shopping for a replacement. Anyway, I play a lot of Xbox (which was also taken). I speak from personal experience regarding burn in and this set. There can be some image retention with this set. This is with the TV set at "cinema" and with pixel shift on the recommended settings even. The images fade with time (a few hours of watching something else or playing another game). You will only see these ghosted images on a white screen. As I mentioned before, they are feint and fade in a few hours or so. I never experienced burn in though. I owned the Samsung plasma PN50B450.

I personally haven't had this issue, but I've read reports of screen issues like that. You might need to send it in for replacement. I hear customer service is easy to work with.

Sorry to hear you are having this issue. So the display is not working at all? No blue light? If so, there is definitely something wrong. I will send you a message to discuss replacement.

Hey Amit,I have had the TV for 4 months, and have almost exclusively played my xbox 360 on it. If there are any burn in issues, I dont see them! I think a little common sense with regards to setting the TV to dim after inactivity, or even shut off (mine does automatically after fifteen minutes of inactivity). Anyway, Ive had no problems! Games look beautiful on this TV, by the way.

Yes, skinney said. However, they did not cover single or sparse dead pixels. They only cover dead/stuck pixels if in the center of the screen or more than "Several" clumped together. I think this industry standard, shrug.

Have them send another screen. Seems like they are hit or miss. Got another one coming in. We'll see if this one works or not.

Some people say there is input lag and ghosting but I do not see any. Works great for me. You need a LOT of GPU for it though. I use SLI 470's and they are starting to show their age already at 2560x1600.

it was plug and play for me, no issues at all for the last 6months+. I'd say just keep exchanging the unit, or look for different seller with a different batch; and also make sure that your LCD cable is really securely connected to the panel, and that it hasn't been damaged from disassembling in the first place.
