dudes out there. Dudett here needing help.

Just bought a Panasonic Plasma, HD ready. 40inch.

Well, bought it for watching Astro of course but then, is it normal for the whole tv to flicker madly after a whole round of PS2 gaming??

I mean, its new.
and, my parents keep complaining to me on stop gaming on the TV and said that it will 'hurt' or 'decrease it's life span' some sort? Last time i heard from the technician was tube tvs will die easily if i use it for gaming.

But, does gaming using plasma tvs make any difference?

if yes.. why?
if no, then why is my tv flickering like crazy? =3=

woops, rechecked the series. Its 42inch.

Its not full HD. Its just HD ready.

Nothing wrong with the cabling and stuff. Flickering ceased after i turn off and turn the tv back on.

It flickers after i turn off my ps2 and ps3 and when i turn on astro, it still flickers like those old age tube tvs. Then i turned it off and turned it back on, its ok again.

weird.

should i go get a new one ==

read again dude
