Plasma TVs do suffer from screen burn

Just for the record: if anyone is considering a Plasma TV bear in mind that screen
burn does happen. When buying mine early this year almost all the press were
saying that it barely happened with old models, and is the same a CRT for the latest
generation of Plasmas. Well with pretty light use (we don’t even have cable!) my Plasma
is already showing a faint impression of the xbmc menu + pause/ progress box
during power-off.

This is no big deal for me it was caught in time and I set the xbmc screensaver
to stars
with a one minute delay. The default is dim (to 20%) after
three minutes which obviously was not doing the trick.
