I know that watching channels with tickers that don't move or sports scores that stay plastered in the corner can cause burn-in. How can I prevent this from happening as I watch a lot of sports.

contrary to some peoples beliefs plasma screens are quite susceptible to burn-in unless you were lucky enough to buy samsung or lg both of which are anti-burn-in resistant... the only advice i can give you is to occasionally change channels for a while then go back yo your sports and you should be ok.also please remember that if you are not watching an hd program and it is not coming in as widescreen please use the features in your tv to make the picture fit the whole screen as the black or grey bars present will also burn-in....

I don't know exactly what kind of tv you have, but mine offers what is called a "white wash". Supposedly you use it after watching anything with a ticker like you said, but don't forget, let's say you're watching Conan O'Brien one night, you see that little NBC logo at the bottom corner of the screen? That can cause burn in as well.
Basically, the white wash turns your screen completely white to "erase" anything that can cause burn in. Check your tv's manual to see if this is offered and how to get to it.

i've got been given a panasonic plasma and became additionally worried for its 50" of splendor, so study up on burn in. as reported, panasonic television's are plenty greater valuable than others, and function valuable properties to cut back risk of burn in: a million-set PNR (photographic noise alleviation i think of) to max. this in certainty shakes the image approximately so via fact the comparable pixel isnt the comparable colour for long. 2-on channels with black bands on the ultimate and backside of the reveal, and channels with a mounted kind interior the nook, use the zoom option to cut back the ultimate and backside off! sounds drastic yet isnt sizeable till subtitles come on! panasonic say they have come a protracted way in reducing burn in, yet its greater valuable to be risk-free than very sorry 3-cut back assessment and brightness to as low as you could stand. (you will get used to it like this) and likewise exchange the mode to action picture mode or despite seems the least vivid the main injury to the plasma occurs while its new - the 1st 2 months or so of use, so after this you may not ought to zoom in on channels desire this helped

how many hours a day do you watch sports? It's not going to happen from watching one game! Just don't leave your TV running on a sports channel for any longer than 8 hours!

Most newer t.v.'s anymore offer a help button to push that fixes the "ghosts" that appear over time. All you have to do is push it ,,,,,,,,, just read your manual. Hitachi has the best one I've found yet. It's called " Majic Focus". But many will do the same job.

Plasma TVs do not have a burn in problem, there are no phosphers to burn in, and no electron beams
