Its not impossible for it to happen on most sets, but its very hard considering all the countermeasures plasma's have. Something is obviously wrong with that plasma, or there is some sort of misuse as that is not something that would happen normally. Also what brand and model was that plasma?

Cnet 2008: "When we review plasmas here at CNET, most of them--including many budget models--don't experience any problems with burn-in."

Samsung PN50C550G1F is the model he has, it's approx. 2 months old (tried to link but kept erroring). I don't know any of the settings, he just calls me when his tech "isn't working."

This is the old German cure: you buy a bottle of white wine, pour it into a pot and mix it with sugar. You heat it up on the stove until right before boiling. Drink it all down. You'll get drunk and fall asleep.When you wake up you'll forget you ever had that cold.

This is the HDTV I have. I have an HD DirecTV receiver and a 360 hooked into it, both through HDMI. I have experienced none of the negative issues most people bring up when they start talking about how LCD-TVs are bad for gaming or movies. LED is really just an overpriced LCD, no reason to splurge unless you just want to brag on how you have an LED-TV.

On those two you have listed:

The Samsung is a good TV but 120Hz is really just a gimmick.

And for the Vizio... I wouldn't refer Vizio TVs to people I hate, although most brag on them.

Just prepare yourself for a *load of plasma references, because most people here are kind of biased towards them.

Try another coupling if you have one, if not here is one that is quite cheap. Also if you have a TV that has a PC input you may want to test audio on it, you could have a bad 360 VGA cable.
