Title: Screen burn Post by: tans on Saturday, April 19, 2014, 21:50:02 My tv has started to get it
Any tips on how to make it worse? Trying to justify the purchase of a new tv to the mrs and she aint having any of it Title: Re: Screen burn Post by: Honkytonk on Saturday, April 19, 2014, 23:00:19 Douse it in lighter fluid and set it on fire.
Title: Re: Screen burn Post by: 4D on Sunday, April 20, 2014, 00:12:36 Why is your missus having none of it?
Title: Re: Screen burn Post by: Flashheart on Sunday, April 20, 2014, 00:27:52 Leave your PS4/XBOX/whatever on all night
Title: Re: Screen burn Post by: Batch on Sunday, April 20, 2014, 07:38:27 Do this, but the other way round. Unless you have a she-geek girlfriend she'll just assume the screen burn got too hot an cracked the glass.

Then I can have it for the lads room :D Title: Re: Screen burn Post by: tans on Monday, May 5, 2014, 08:29:31 Is it broke?
Was even showing whilst watching the footy yesterday on a green background. Is it easy to repair? (http://i58.tinypic.com/124vts5.jpg) Title: Re: Screen burn Post by: Ralphy on Monday, May 5, 2014, 08:34:13 Looks more like image retention to me mate. Screen burn is very rare these days.
Title: Re: Screen burn Post by: tans on Monday, May 5, 2014, 08:37:16 Non repairable?
Title: Re: Screen burn Post by: Ralphy on Monday, May 5, 2014, 08:40:22 Nope. Once it sets in that's it. It will get worse the higher you have the brightness and contrast set to.
Happens on plasma TV's when a static image like the Sky Sports news logo for example has been on for hours and hours. Title: Re: Screen burn Post by: tans on Monday, May 5, 2014, 08:42:34 Fucking thing
Title: Re: Screen burn Post by: Batch on Monday, May 5, 2014, 08:51:11 Some TVs have a mode that displays random image, like static, that if you leave it on for 24 hours may remove/reduce minor screen burn.
Or I'm sure there are programs on the internet that do the same thing. Or just leave it on an untuned analog channel http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/why-do-images-get-burned-into-lcd-and-plasma-displays-and-how-you-can-fix-it/ But bad burn...no. Title: Re: Screen burn Post by: Ralphy on Monday, May 5, 2014, 08:55:52 Tans has an older plasma which doesn't.
The thing batch is talking about is a scrolling bar. |
