Plasma TV Burn-In

Very briefly, the screen in a plasma TV is made up of array of pixels, and each individual pixel contains a gaseous substance. The pixels receive charge from a set of electrodes producing photons, giving away ultraviolet light. The light particles generated fall on the pixel wall which is coated with phosphor. When you view the same channel for a long time, or play the same game on your Plasma TV for long hours, the phosphor on the pixel wall may age more in certain areas and start to produce lights of less intensity. At times, with continued lights from the phosphor, the screen is liable to get burn-in, leaving a shadow of an image on the screen. To avoid plasma TV burn-in, you will have to use your plasma TV in a balanced way and avoid leaving the same TV channel or playing the same game for many hours in a row.  more
