[quote]This leads to a huge problem, one that may have already permanently damaged my near $3K TV, the HUD is burnt into my display. I'm a very proud owner of the "65in Panasonic VT60, and I paid a very pretty penny for it. Millions of others also playDestiny on plasmas, and the fact is no matter how "worn in" a plasma is, it is still prone to burn-in or image retention.[/quote] Well sir I found the problem with your Burn in... Its an outdated plasma screen that you had to have shortly after they were released, therefore paying too damn much and getting the now obsolete tv style. I used to sell T.V.s right after plasmas were released, a few simple facts: All plasma tvs have the capacity for burn in, hell we had a few demo units that had a dvd menu burned in. 95% of plasma screens have a close viewing angle like 120 degress and have poor in light performance. Plasma screens with typical usage need a "recharge" roughly every 5 years, basically an oil change for the plasma, used to cost 1000$ not sure about now. But otherwise you were subject to picture fade and slow response time. Major T.V. manufacturers moved to L.C.D. then L.C.D. as they proved more versitile in high and low light, cheaper to produce and sell, therfore easier to move, and be longer lasting without maintainence. In fact many times the motherboard fails before the screen. TL; DR: Plasmas suck and are outdated, read above for why.
