does anyone here use a plasma tv for gaming?

well I was just asking because it seem that plasma are cheaper than lcd/led anyways one of the reason I have not purchase a plasma is because I have read that is just not recomended because of burn in. On the other hand almost an every comparison a plasma always has the upper hand in terms of picture quality I.E put the best LCD/LED against pioneer elite plasma you get the picture as for my question for those who own a plasma tv do you play games on it and how are the results? I can only imagine playing a pioneer plasma elite (and yes I know they make and lcd aswell but thats not the question)

Well I don't own a plasma (Not yet anyway, but soon hopefully!) but I do know that burn-in isn't even a problem in 99% of plasma TVs now a days. The technology has evolved to a point where that isn't even a concern, and they have built in "cleaners" that will remove any sign of burn in.

yeah i get what you guys are saying but I actually want to hear what people who actually have play on both plasma and led/lcd. On a different Note thanks for the info I was not aware that they have fix the burn in problem do you know what the feature is called and on what year model they have included this on

I've got a Panasonic Viera (plasma). Have never had a problem gaming on it.;)

I am conscious not to leave the screen idle for too long, but I've never had an image burnt into it.

Word has it that 'flashing' it with a white screen clears burn marks anyway.

I see so what do u guys recomend. panasonic has a 50 inch plasma that neck to neck with the pioneer elite plasma (well that comes as a result of them working together and then pioneer giving the tv industry a break, panasonic pretty much took advantage of that and took there tehnology and made it much cheaper for consumers) Or a lcd/led Im sure most of you have gone to bestbuy and seen there set up as soon as you walk in the store I think is a a 52 inch lg or samsung with a blu-ray player and its playing pirates of the carribean or transformores the thing looks so damn clear, crisp, and sharp i nearly went to the tv and ask johnny depp for an autograph...jk

I do. It has not suffered from burn-in and I've played 100s of hours of Street Fighter 4 on it. I like Plasmas over LCDs because there's no motion-blur and cause Plasmas produce better blacks and colors.

Panasonic is all good mate. ;)

The disadvantage of plasma is its short lifespanAllisa1

After about 10 years plasmas will lose half the original brightness, but even then they will keep on going probably 5+ years after that.

extreme sensitivity to burn in.Allisa1

Extreme? I just played probably about 10 hours of assassin's creed 2 and I don't see any burn-in on any of the static images.

Even if there was any it would go away almost instantly after playing something els.

Dont even think about playing video games on it or leave a dvd menu on the screen. Allisa1

*face palm*

Plasma is as close to a picture tube you can get and is more forgiving with the lower resolution signals i.e. analog cable. The disadvantage of plasma is its short lifespan and extreme sensitivity to burn in. Dont even think about playing video games on it or leave a dvd menu on the screen. LCD has been around for ever and now the higher end brands like Sony make them look just as good as plasma. The only reason plasma exists is they could make the LCD's in the larger sizes and make them affordable. Now that LCD prices have come down you will see plasma go away. The bigger brands are not making plasma anymore.Allisa1

you're wrong on so many fronts, please stop posting here and anywhere on the internet.

100,00 hours is hardly a short life span

burn in has been proven to be no longer an issue.

Samsung and Panasonic as still making plasmas, are there bigger brands in the TV business than these two right now?

to the OP, I have a 50 Panny viera plasma, the p85u, I love it, and Im sure you will too.

I own a panny viera 50" plasma tv and i haven't experienced any burn in issues when i'm gaming.
