Another TV post!

I personally has seen it on two occasions. One was a TV's at a local firing range that had several monitors that displayed information. Whether called burn-in or image retention the fact of the matter is the image was there. When the content would flash to the next content you could clearly see the old image on the top and bottom of the screen. It was bad enought that it would distort the content image playing at the time as it went through the video.
The other was a gamers TV that played a TON of shooting games. When his TV was off you, once again you clearly could see the image was forever there and would not go away.

When I had my Panasonic Plasma TV (still have one not in use) I was told to use the full screen or enlarge the content playing to avoid the over use of the middle of the TV panel to avoid burn-in, which I did UNLESS I was watching a movie.

I had my plasma professionally calibrated after 300hrs of use. Mine has zero issues, I used the wiping feature only once to see what it did. The company I used for the calibration warned me to avoid the wiping feature unless it was absolutely necessary as it could shorten the life of the panel.
I did use pixel shift.

Things that keep me up all night...
Does this bother anyone else as to think when.

With TV's now having more than 8 million Pixels and, it's just a matter of time before you see that one Pixel that's gone out?

With some 8K TV's now having over 30 million 😳

Oh Boy Oh Boy...
In the process of possibly scoring an oldie but a goodie.

Conversing with a fella selling the best plasma tv ever made, the Panasonic 65" ZT60. Only made one year, 2013.
3,500 hours on this tv that was rated @ 100,000 hours before starting to see anything noticeable with picture picture degradation, not even broken in yet.

Have the Panny ZT in the 60" size and have been searching for one of these low hour 65" ZT60 for a long time.
Pretty excited if this happens.
Asking lots of questions to verify it is what it says it is.

Only drawback... it's quite the haul there and back and it's quite heavy. These suckers were like 90+ lbs and, with the shipping container me thinks it was over 130 lbs.
Not even thinking about trusting an outfit to ship this thing. They absolutely cannot be laid flat for transport, even if the original shipping container's are available.

We're in the process of doing a home theater set-up downstairs. Movie nights are close.
We have a pair of left & right Monster Eleganza Godfather subs (Godfather 1500's) that have been itching to be used. Have never installed them from new.
The surround system will be Infinity's Prelude MTS's, all full range with subs & center, and the Godfather's. Neighbors.... hang on to your butts!

Fingers crossed and knocking on wood.
