anti burn-in (1 Viewer)

LCD's can also get burn in, but it can sometimes be fixed. I know this from the log in screen burned into the Lap tops we use to log in to our servers at work. On LCD's the pixels can get stuck when they are in the same state for a long time. The fix is to cycle trhough all the primary colours and black and white very quickly for a few days. Doesn't always work though...

A bigger problem is the TV stations displaying their logos in a fixed location. Many people I know with plasmas (myself included) have issues with burning caused by this. Although it seems to fade after a while.

don't watch the same channel too long

(does good to your consumer habbits too)

^^ what NLS said before..

Even without inbuilt functions you can download a specific movie of white noise - leave this running a few days and most burn-in effects should be gone.

Every discussion about pixel rotation is useless here if we speak of static pictures like the MP GUI...

I Think the holy grail here is a screen saver that inverts/cycles the onscreen colours so that you can still see the display but the brightness/colours are constantly changing. Failing that its back to careful viewing habits.

Guys!

I had somehow a similar idea.. should have found your post prior writing a new thread. Anyway: Read here https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/viewtopic.php?t=15265&highlight=plasma

It also adresses the idea of rotating pixels, but to shift a bigger amount.
In addition it suggests to really move the film stripe up and down to avoid black bars to be burned it.

Is it actually possible to burn in black bars - isn't black created by no pixels lighting up?

 

[Marcusb]

technically you don't get burn in from the black bars. The bars end up brighter than the rest of the screen if they get less use.
It looks just as annoying as regular burn in.

It seems to me its quite impossible for MP to do this function ..whereas Windows itself, or your graphics card drivers would be more likely the place to start looking for "rotating-pixel" solutions

i know..i know..they dont do that yet...and they may never included functions like that ....but heres a question....

if u buy a plasma that does this "rotating-pixels" u mentioned..why not buy that?

i suppose u want a buy a cheaper plasma and get the "rotating-pixels" done by software?

This will never happen by a program or by a driver. You see plasmas "have to take care of themselves". It is a dying product (I don't think there will be plasma in the market in 2 years), so you understand that nobody except the plasma vendors themselves is going to take care of the product problems.
