What exactly is "implemanting White noise wash"? Is it in the 50S10 itself?

Why don't other manufacturers have something like Pioneer Kuro's "orbiter" technology to avoid burn in?

just video noise.. like when you don't have reception for TV signal..

Yup. just unplug your aerial and let it run on white noise for a few minutes.
No need to do it everyday, maybe 3 times a week would be sufficient.
Just let the TV run, you can go to sleep. and eventually, it will off by itself...depending on your settings.

Like this:

Its not the fanciest technology stuff, but at least it works on IR before it becomes screen burn.

Caution: Do not look at the static image for too long...later become like the movie 'White Noise' than you know..haha...see ghost image in there
But if you see number..share with me..


Cannot, totally cannot!!...later become like Kuro..become extinct species...haha..cause the set never give problem or breaks down...
Never heard of a person change his Kuro to another brand yet.

I have uploaded the photos... hopefully it is just a heavy IR that can be removed.

should can kua..

my samsung 1 month watch astro in 4:3 also can remove the IR after a few days...

What kind of ghost images did you get? Is it the Astro logo too? My logo looks alike Astro Ceria must be those kids ... but strange they are only watching for 2-3 hours a day

I think the side grey background is another way, a plasma manufacture built in to avoid burn-in according to the cnet article
http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-6449_7-6844370-1.html

"Most TV broadcasters and cable and satellite service providers are quite aware that there are a lot of plasma owners out there, and they've taken steps to help you avoid burn-in. Some hardware providers, such as DVR makers TiVo, DirecTV, Dish Network, and even Scientific Atlanta, give you the option of changing those pillarbox bars from black to gray, which keeps the pixels "

echosien,

Seen the pictures, I believe is uneven wear of phosphors for now. Also if it is not clear on a white screen, it is very light. I would just ignore it, stay away from that channel, if u can run the break in DVD for longer or the bolt movie longer, this will clear. This uneven wear will not clear after 1 hr of Bolt, it will go away with time.

Cheers.

I believe Panny has something similar to orbiter. So does Samsung.

Some panels are more susceptible to IR. This is related to the panel and the panel firing and voltage mechanism and phosphor discharge.

Kuro panels are resilient but nothing is 100% bullet proof. This is part of the technology.

I'll run the Break-in DVD longer this time, which one is more effective? Animation movie or the Break-in DVD?

I think u can use both, interchange. Looking at ur case, both will work. I tend to prefer the animation in ur case as it has more movements. However, typically, in the top right part of the movie, there is not usually much fast action.

So do you have any movie/clip that you can recommended to remove it?

saw ur posted photo but couldn't make anything out of it so i guess the burn in is not serious at all.... y bother?

Any Pixar animation that is in 16:9 ratio shd be fine, Meet the Robinsons, Up etc....

Just worry if watch more Astro next time, the same place will get even worse... dun tell me have to zoom3 each time watch Astro

Hmnn where's the uploaded photo

BTW, got this burn-in images from google:



However I think it's older Plasma bcos greyish background..new plasma mostly deep black hor

photo is on page 1 of this thread

It will become more resilient with time. As the phosphors mature.

Plasma screen is always black, but if you check it out when it is on without input signal..it will slightly be grey especially at night when there are no ceiling lights on.
