The big game of the year ''A plasma subjected to burning'' must change its rules: the Samsung plasma victim is not recovering easily from the effects of a full night of exposure.The first stage which consisted in subjecting the screen to a fixed image for an hour was won by the plasma, the results were good: in spite of our outlandish settings (contrast and brightness to a max), the slight marking remained visible for half an hour only.
Next we moved onto stage 2 of the test as described in our initial game rules, representative this time of “high risk” behaviour:
“Exposure of a plasma to a fixed image for one night, then display of uniform grey to detect any burnt zones.”
Here's the report and conclusions on the consequences of our actions:
A plasma screen: subjection to burning: exposure for a night then grey display
