I read in the article about lowering the contrast to slow the phospherous burn but how does this relate to the contrast specifications of individual tv's. In my shopping I've been looking at the contrast ratio as an important factor in which set to buy. Is 5000:1 more prone to wear out than 3000:1? Thanks for the advice...

ASTOKIE! I have never seen in my lifetime not this early anyway a DISPLAY with 5000:1 contrast ratio. All this burn-in issues/ by lowering the contrast has nothing to do with it. The brightness settings is the main factor however, Even if you do so, Don't display stilled pictures or computer graphics as if image will be stagnant on the screen. common sense! I have been with my PLASMA display almost everyday to 24 hours within a year now and I have never lost any brightness nor symptoms of burns in my screen. Not that I care whether or not one discussion is proven truth or not, but Im certain for one thing: "Im about to find out how Plasma really last.

Thanks for the reply. I've been looking at two tv's (LGRU-42PX11) and (Zenith/LG P42W46X). Both claim to be 5000:1 contrast ratio. So by decreasing the brightness levels, not the contrast levels, theoretically you would extend the life of the phosphorus?

If Zenith and LG both claimed to have a contrast ratio of 5000:1, I couldn't imagine How dark the picture would be, there will be no more adjustments necessary, white would be almost dirty white. Dark picture PERIOD!. Are you sure, you ain't mistaken 5000:1 to 1500:1 contrast ratio? I have a PANASONIC TH37PDW6UY with a contrast ratio of 4000:1 I have set the BRIGHTNESS level to -30 all the time I had it. PICTURE level is set to the maximum +30 as well as the SHARPNESS +30. TINT and COLOR are in between. Adjustments may require only when needed. Theorically, I would say the 30,000 to 60,000 hours lifespan expected of the display is even more, doubled the expentancy as originally rated. The way I look at the PANASONIC displays, regardless of the Brightness settings, Once the PHOSPHOURS ignited, whose to say: necessarry steps could prolonged phosphours life?. know what Im saying?. Therefore, I would say: the only way to STABILIZE it's picture perfect is to work through it's colored pixels, minimize 4.3 , widescreen all the time. Most of all, since Plasma generates lot of energy, I suggest: turning ON and OFF isn't ideal either. For instance: You turned it ON now knowing you go to the store in 30 minutes, just leave it ON, don't turn it OFF unless you won't be back 4 to 6 hours later.
