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.
