Can we go HUD-less?

[SirTerning]

Got a 50'' Plasma which I've had for 2 years now and I play allot of games on it and not ever have I got permanent images stuck in my screen, sure I've had some that have stuck on the screen for around 15 minutes but that's after a game session of 5 hours.

 

But I was scared it would happend so I did somethings to prevent that to a degree.

1. Have a run with the settings on the TV and turn down lighting, contrast and such.. NOT to much but to a comfortable level. (Do this while watching TV)

2. Use the TV ONLY on full screen channels which does not have black boxes around the image, making the gases inside the TV degrade the same over the whole panel.

3. When playing games, check if you can change the settings for the HUD elements making them more see through.

4. Use it like this to you have had it in use for around 200-300 hours.

 

 

This is what I've done and it have helped allot, because in the beginning the screen would get allot of things ghosting around after just a few hours use, even when watching TV. But after I did the stuff which I said over, then my screen would almost never get any ghosting, only after playing non stop for around 5-6 hours. And keep in mind that elements with strong colors as white, yellow or red will make the ghosting more likely to happens, that's why I turned down on the contrast and lighting, making it a little darker but to degree where I would almost not notice it.
