Plasma Burn-in: Season 2, Episode 1

Let's burn a plasma screen!  Testing the endurance of a plasma screen to the limits to see if it ends up suffering from screen burn might well seem like a crazy idea, but that's exactly what Panasonic are letting us do with one of its televisions.

Of course, it took a little bit of persuading on our part before they agreed, but that's perfectly reasonable.  The plasma television that they've agreed to let us use is the Panasonic Viera TX-P50V10, which will set you back around £1400 if you want to try it at home yourself.  Don't forget that the last TV to receive this treatment, a Samsung PS42C96HD, didn't come out alive.
