Burn In

There's an old, old trick we used to use on the old three gun pro studio cameras with screen burn.

We focused the camera on a white sheet of cardboard which was brightly lit and just left the camera switched on for the day aimed at the card. It worked a treat.

I wonder if you had a similar setup with a videocam and played it back through the monitor on full screen, with the monitors brightness turned up full it may clear the darker area. I've never heard of it being done with modern equipment but hey, it's worth a try. It would certainly do things a lot faster than just noise on the screen.

If its not genuine permanent burn in, there's some chance you could get rid of it by playing a no signal channel - the kind that gives you the snowy picture. leave it like that for a day and see if theres any change.

Good luck

i dont think there is much you can do about this which wont cost a fortune

If you have the right equipment like an XP computer and a video out, try cycling Red, Green, Blue White, Black for the day on the my pictures screensaver with 1024x768 BMP's of each color, this will even out your TV, It works like a charm for burnt LCD pixels and Standard TV's too.

don't u have an extended warr? they'll cover it since it doesn't have TNT or CBS burned into a corner!

I'VE HEARD ALOT OF PROBLEMS WITH BURNIN ON PLASMA, NEVER LCD!

Thats bjust what I recomenedfor another burn in problem as I sugested using a test disc using differant colors or white but white would certainly be the best and yes the old camera tubes used to get a burn in them and showing a white well lite screen to them helped save alot of tubes!!
