I just heard from sources* that Plasma Tv's are not acceptable for video gaming. Now this sounds like S*** because I have been playing my PS2 on it for awhile now and there has been no problems whatso ever. I heard that they can destroy the Tv all together due to the intenseness of the gaming qualities but I would hope to think with how high Plasma Tv's fps is, it wouldn't matter much. I have a 42" HD Plasma by this maker i believe to be Akai** and it has never failed me so far in which I have had it for quite a long time now (giver take 2+ years) Are gaming consoles/video games bad for plasmas??

The usual criticism of plasma TV for gaming has been the burn-in problem. The newest plasmas are greatly improved; they don't burn-in easily and the burn-in can be faded. However, it is generally felt that it remains a potential problem. Keep the brightness and contrast set as low as you can; try to keep staionary patterns from remaining on the screen a long time.
LCD TVs used to be considered inappropriate for gaming because of the slower response time (moving objects could leave trails), and their color is not as brilliant. However, as in the case of the plasmas, the sets have been improved and the newer ones have excellent response time.
So unfortunately the decision is not clear-cut.

the main problem is the score area and other **** like that that is usually white. for the TV to make white it is 100% power to the area therefor causing burn in to the set. It does take some time for it to **** up so just keep on playing till you see your score with the TV off
