Yes my has lasted 4 months!! Ghosting has been a non-issue. Only problem I've seen is the video chip trying to keep up with writing to a 42" screen at i. It'll sometimes hiccup. Phoenix86 Lifer.

May 25, 5, 1 I have used my toshiba 42HP95 for lots of gaming, console and PC, and never had a problem with burn in, image retention, or otherwise.

I did a very lengthy and indepth calibration, but it was well worth it for lifespan and color quality. So it may be a chore to find a TV to buy and find someone to service it if anything goes wrong. The most important feature you would want in a TV for gaming is a low input lag. The lower the input lag, the better. If you can go for a TV with an input lag of 30 ms and below, consider it. And if you are looking for a TV that you can use for gaming purposes or just an extra TV for guests, Plasma TVs make a good choice, although you have to manage your expectations.

Joined Jul 25, Messages 2, It used to be the case that Plasmas were better than LCD's due to better blacks.

This was a top of the line Plasma several years ago. The Genesis collection plays by default in aspect ratio. After a few hours I noticed image retention. It does not look like permanent burn-in since I watched regular TV afterwards in order to see if it would go away, and it apparently did go away. So, I decided to play this game in stretched to reduce the risk of burn-in.

Game looks strange stretched that way. With 4K and HDR, maybe they are? They are cheap enough and the lightweight part is appealing. Then I could play in without worrying about burn-in.

OLED is the only panel type that can match the black levels of a plasma while far outclassing the picture quality.
