- What is the best way to remove burn-in in a plasma? I am getting a great deal on an NEC PDP but it has images that are burned in. I was told I can run a pure white screen for a few weeks and it should fade. Is that true? Is there a better way to remove or fade the burn-in? I do not have the image to reverse it either, so that is not an option either.
- Is a plasma screen tv the same as an LCD tv? Thanks. Sue
- Hello, What is the comparison between Plasma Technology and DLP? Aside from width sizes, which one has better quality? In your opinion which technology will be around the longest? Thanks
- should the plasma be plug into the wall or ups?
- Does you know of a device to remove on screen tags that TV channels use to show the channal ID
- Amazon, Staples, Costco and other shops are selling the SVA HD4208TIII-PDP 42" Flat Panel for about $2200. I never heard of this brand before (www.sva-usa.com). Everything looks quite nice, except the brigthness (350cd/m2) and contrast ratio (700:1). What do you think?
- any knowledge on the sanyo pdp42wv1r,or pdp42wv1as,,internet sites and ebay are claiming it has the same panel as the panasonic th42pwd6uy,claiming the contrast ratio as well(4000;1)i love the panasonic unit but the wife wants a silver color plasma,the sanyo is silver,anyway thanks for your time
- Hi, I have a JVC PD42wv74 and would like to know why on certain DVD that has widescreen showed as Widescreen and some showed as Full screen?
- Instead of an all-white screen-clearing mode, Panasonic provides a white bar that wipes across the screen several times to "clear residual charges". (other manufacturers provide an all-white screen-clearing mode instead). What is the importance of clearing "residual charges." When should I use this feature, and for how long at a time?
- There seems to be a large difference in the price of an HDTV TV versus an HDTV monitor even by the same manufacturer and size. What is the difference? Can a monitor be used for strictly TV use? If so why would one pay the difference?

If it is true burn-in, then there is nothing that can be done to reverse it. There may be some temporary ghosting that can be reversed after a white screen or image inversion is displayed intermittently. If the image persists after a day or two of normal viewing, then it will probably not disappear.

A UPS (un-interruptible power supply) is not required for a plasma. I would suggest using a good quality surge protector.

- Does you know of a device to remove on screen tags that TV channels use to show the channal ID
There are no devices on the market designed to remove the network id bugs on the screen since they are embedded onto the signal from the broadcast station. The best thing to do is to keep the plasma in a pixel rotation mode if it has one built-in to prevent any image persistance.

SVA is a Chinese based company. I have not been impressed with the quality of work from the plasmas coming out of China. These are the low end of plasmas.

The Sanyo gets the glass for this panel from Panasonic however, the electronics inside are Sanyo. I have not had a chance to view this screen to see how it compares to the Panasonic.

Some DVD will have both the widescreen and fullscreen versions on the same disc. There is typically a setup menu on the DVD to select which version to watch. Select widescreen for all 16:9 plasmas.

(other manufacturers provide an all-white screen-clearing mode instead). What is the importance of clearing "residual charges." When should I use this feature, and for how long at a time?
I would utilize these features periodically for a few minutes if there are no residual images. If you have any residual images, I would use them right away and for reasonable durations until they are removed. Although, no extended use of this will remove permanant image retention.

TV and monitor as often interchanged for the same definition. One can think of a TV as having a TV tuner and monitor as not having a tuner. One will find that the plasma "TV's" will also have speakers, some sort of stand, more inputs/outputs, more convenience features. The monitors can be used as TV for streaming video with an set top box with a tuner such as a digital cable box or satelite receiver. A VCR can also be used as a tuner.
