Most movies and TV I watch have some sort of letter boxing either to the side or up & down. Will this be an issue for burn in for the first 100 hours?

I can tell you I have been amazed at how much of a non-issue burn-in has been with this TV. On my 6 year old Samsung Plasma it was highly noticeable and I would set the screen wipe function for 30 minutes or more at the end of the day. When I set the screen wipe on this thing I don't see a thing. In fact I don't think I've seen any ghosting since I got this thing.

This tv goes to a screen saver after so many minutes so I have experienced no such problems. One can also set the tv to shut off after a certain amount if inactivity. I love this tv!

I am sorry but I do not know the answer to this question. I have not noticed any type of burn issue on our P50S60. Most of our viewing is in high def. with the screen showing picture over the entire 16x9 surface.

Not really, it takes a long time for any residual imaging to burn in, and it can usually be cleared up by simply leaving the plasma off for 8+hours. I would suggest though that if you're watching mostly letter boxed media, consider a 21:9 ultra wide TV.

We haven't noticed any burn in. Don't know what else to tell you. We never had an issue with our old Panasonic Plasma.

Letters are slighted raised so I don't think so. Have owned the frame for about 8 months, 2 months of that was blistering heat and constant sun from parking outdoor. Frame still looks good and lettering is in tact.

Nope never noticed any thing like that. Check your TV settings, in the burn in protection settings there is a setting called pixel shift, its turned on by default it moves the picture a small amount every couple of minuets to protect from burn in's. I suppose your settings could be off the default settings are pixel shift: on, Horizontal: 4, vertical: 4, time: 4 min. This probably your problem you could try turning it off at your own risk as you may have a higher chance of burn in's and most likely image retention. You payed good money though if that doesn't fix it return it! Samsung is know for problematic plasma tv's. I wish you the best! Nope never noticed any thing like that.

I was careful not to pause the screen at all or to air a channel for more than fifteen minutes with fixed logos or borders (history channel, CNBC, ESPN). Usually the programming takes care of the situation with commercials. Some people recommend running commercially available burn-in slides before you start using your TV. I chose to just be careful (more careful than I really needed to be) and have had no issues with ghost images. Wonderful TV for the visually obsessed.

You'll probably get raised white letters on one side and black on the other. Your choice of what side you want to show.

For short periods, the answer is yes. I have not had occasion to write upside down for a sustained period (30-60 minutes), so I cannot offer guidance on that.

No. It's literally ready to go out of the box. Default settings on IMGburn. Haven't had a bad burn ever.

If you are asking about the FORMAT or ASPECT RATIO, look on the remote about mid-way top to bottom. There's a row of horizontal buttons (Mute/Format/Info/Favorites). I couldn't find anything in the manual if you don't have the remote...

It has an automatic "screensaver" that kicks in after a few seconds. It will not burn in according to the technician who fixed our Panasonic. Still, don't take a chance and leave something that stays on the screen inspite of the screensaver. It is a great television and the picture and sound are great. I use it to watch videos, play video games, watch television, and watch my CCTV cameras. For the money you can't beat it.

Yes. You will need to select a different setting for the type of movie/show.

Yes. I find when open to watch video it has a tendency to topple over. With a little help it is fine. When held, no problem

I just got this set. I have not noticed any issues with motion. However, when the set is placed in "vivid" mode, the picture looks very grainy when viewing things like: grass on a football field. In standard mode, it is really great.

I made setting adjustments, updated the firmware and have since watched scenes with dark backgrounds and it seems to have gone away? Don't know why for sure but so far, so good. Thought the same. Perhaps it is a HDMI cable issue but was seeing it both on tv broadcasts as well as DVD so felt it must have been related to some sort of setting? Don't think both of my HDMI cables would have been bad! Thanks.

You will not experience any burn in whatsoever. I have a 46" samsung plasma tv, i fall asleep with my ps3 paused for 10 hours at a time, and have barely noticed any ghosting. If your tv has a still image for a long period of time just put the image on zoom and watch tv for a day. The colors moving will clear anything up.

Hi TB, It is my understanding that the same image has to stay on the screen for many hours over a course of a very long time before burn in takes place however, at least on my TV set, the TV will turn itself off after so long. If you are still watching the TV when the warning flashes you have the option to push the OK button or let it turn off. Burn in happens only when the same image is left on the screen for a great number of hours not when using the TV for normal viewing or use.

Not sure why you would worry about burn-in with Pandora...Once it's playing for a while, the image on the screen starts to move around to prevent that problem.
