Tnx re feedback on spider cracks issue.
Nakaka-praning lang minsan kasi pag nabasa mo, sa amazon.com, yung reviews re the spider cracks on samsung E550 and E8000.
Na-search ko na ang amazon. 2010 and 2011 Samsung plasma naman ang sinasabi sa E550 and E8000 comments. Spontaneous crack comment sa 2012 Samsung plasma, wala. Or, wala pa sa ngayon...
ewan natin...
Prone ba sa Image Retention (IR) ang E550 and E8000?
Nagkakaroon din ng IR, but not prone to IR. Yung 51E550 ko, nagkakaroon din ng IR, pero minutes lang wala na.
Comparing Panny, LG and Sammy, the most IR-resistant is Sammy sa ngayon. Pero yung old Sammy plasma (around 10 years ago), palpak, hindi lang IR, burn pa.
Among the Samsung 2012 models, best IR resistance is on the big Samsungs 60 inch and up. Smaller models have slight IR.
Samsung plasma 60E6500 --- zero IR:

Tnx Sir Skooter.
What's the difference between Imgae Retention and Burnt-Out Screen?
Pasintabi kay sir skooter, makikisabat na ako.
Burn-in (BI) is non-uniform screen phosphor burn, where a portion gets darker because the phosphor burn is more severe in that area. Wala nang BI issue ngayon on any of the 3 plasma brands, so it's now a non-issue.
Image Retention (IR) is caused by residual charge in the plasma cell. It has nothing to do with phosphors, so it's very different from BI, even if the two look similar when you see them on a plasma screen. Pag may naiwan na charge, may ghost image na naiiwan. Pero temporary lang yon, nawawala rin pag pumantay na ang charge sa ibang cells. That's not like BI, which is permanent, kasi sunog na yung phosphor at hindi na maibabalik yung pre-burn status ng prematurely aged phosphor.
Yan ang consensus na definition ng mga video enthusiasts sa internet. Don't get confused when reviewers say burn-in when they really mean IR, kasi mga bagong terminology yan na wala naman sa dictionary, kaya nagkakaiba-iba rin ng gamit.
Ang problema sa IR, temporary nga, pero minsan sobrang tagal ng retention. Sa newer Panny (around 2010 to the present models), minsan inaabot ng weeks, meron pa rin. Si among Carlo777 nga may naalala akong post, yung Panny plasma niya (2010?) meron daw IR na sobrang tagal na, parang hindi na raw mawawala. Gamer kasi siya e.
