Also wenn man sich mit dem Thema etwas intensiver beschäftigt,
stellt man sich doch unweigerlich die Frage, warum die
Plasma-Hersteller das Thema nicht deutlicher ansprechen oder eine
break-in DVD schon mit ausliefern, um ihre Kunden gar nicht erst in
die Gefahr zu bringen, das Plasma-Display innerhalb der ersten
Wochen zu schädigen. Zumal die Werkseinstellungen offensichtlich
das Risiko des Einbrennen verstärken.
Panasonic schreibt auf seiner Global Website (die deutsche
Support-Seite ist echt vollkommen nutzlos) in den FAQs folgendes
[Hervorhebungen durch mich]:
(1) image retention, which is an uneven aging of the phosphors in a
display device, can occur on any display that uses phosphors to
generate an image, including tube TVs, projection TVs that use
CRTs, and plasma TVs.
Such uneven aging happens when bright, static images are left
onscreen for an extended period of time,
which can leave a
permanent "shadow" that is always visible.
It often occurs because the contrast and brightness settings on the
TV are too high. In addition, screen savers, and brightness level
adjustments can dramatically reduce any chance of image retention.
Use common sense when it comes to your plasma TV; don't
pause video games or watch TV stations with station logos onscreen
for long periods of time, and use one of the many display
calibration DVDs available today for properly setting
brightness and contrast
(2) Plasma televisions are shipped from the factory with the
contrast control at a high setting to provide a bright picture
under typical dealer's showroom lighting conditions. In your home,
the room light levels are usually one half or less than that in
retailer's showroom. Therefore, when the plasma is initially
installed, it is best to do the following:
-
Make sure the display is in a viewing mode
(aspect ratio) that completely fills the screen.
The panel is shipped in this condition, in what is called the
"Just" mode.
-
Turn down the Picture control (contrast level) to
50%(center) or less.
-
Briefly engage the 4:3 mode and confirm the side bars are set to
"Mid", or "Bright". This can be adjusted in the Set Up
menu.
-
Always return the display mode that fills the
screen (such as Just, Zoom, Full, H-FILL or 4:3
Full).
Note:
For models with "H-FILL" or "4:3 Full " mode, please see "Q5. What
does the Aspect button control?" for further
information.
-
Avoid any static images (video games, computer
images, DVD title screens, etc.) during the first one hundred
hours
Etwas mehr Aufklärung seitens der Hersteller würde ich mir schon
erwarten!
