I have the exact same model TV as OP and I have the exact same problem which I outlined here -
https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/71622470/0/0
I have followed the advice detailed here - http://www.cnet.com/au/news/is-plasma-hdtv-burn-in-a-problem/
After every gaming session (I am a casual player BTW) I leave the TV running for a few hours. I have done this since the TV was brand new. Despite this, I cannot prevent the image retention of the Destiny HUD. I can only lessen the intensity of the after image but now, there is a permanent mark there. I can clearly make out the super bar and weapons symbols.
Since I made the original post, I have halved the brightness of my TV whenever I play Destiny and I put it back up to normal for the few hours of broadcast television (ie. Anti image retention) that follows. I even pop my supers regularly playing PvE just so it might make a slight difference to the super bar after image. I still firmly believe, having a different HUD colour option would work wonders so that I could remove the solid white and yellow colours.
I owned a top of the line LG LCD before my Panasonic and that LCD got image retention from moderate sessions of Assassins Creed. Image retention plagues all TV's even the old CRT's so the argument that plasma is more susceptible is mostly untrue.
To the LCD and LED fans I will leave this here for reference - http://www.cnet.com/products/panasonic-tc-p55vt60
My hats off to those of you refusing to play until the issue is addressed. I hope this is sooner rather than later.

Need to mention that your TV will recover but you have to give the game up. It took my tv 3 months with no Destiny for it to completely go away. I don't believe that changing the screen bounds is any fix for plasma owners like us. It's only going to leave marks on our tvs in two areas rather then one.

Man, that's the best post we've had in this thread. I wish we could sticky it. It's exactly what I've been saying but you did a great job putting it into words and backing up your steps so that people that don't have plasma's can understand that this is not a not a normal plasma image retention issue. All plasma owners get some retention and you watch something else or change the game and the retention goes away. If the retention is a little more sticky you leave the tv on after your done playing watching something full screen or run the wipe feature for a little bit. But doing these things on the newer high end plasma's does little to remove the image retention from the HUD and super bar from Destiny. The best way I can pharse it is the rate of damage to the plasma is much faster then any other game out there and the recovery is so much slower then any other game out there. Thus, I gave the game up. I love my tv much more then a stupid game. I'm just miffed because I liked the game a lot, it hooked me in, I paid for it and the dlc, but none of it is worth damaging my TV. It just an overall suckey situation due to Bungies laziness and pompous attitude toward the patrons who paid for the game that allows them to keep their jobs.

Good work bringing this topic to the community here. It needs more recognition. A quick google search shows that all the other internet communities are wrestling with the same problems of image retention with Destiny. We are not alone in this.
