Avery Howell Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 So I put a new Samsung 55" LED TV on layaway and should have it out in about 4 weeks. Currently in my bedroom I have a very small LCD tv that has worked fine for the past couple years, but I decided that I needed to upgrade. Recently when my family went on vacation I took along my PS3 and a few games (mainly GTA 5) so that I would have something to do during "down time". The TV that I hooked it up to was a 32" Samsung that I'm pretty sure was an LED. And it was burnt in bad on the left side. I quickly realized that I do something ALL the time that I really shouldn't do and that is when I am playing a game (like GTA 5) I will pause the game and leave the room for a little while, long enough for the "Controller Disconnected" screen to appear and I sometimes leave that up for awhile and I did end up slightly burning in that image to the 32". (My bad) On my LCD I have currently, it is not a problem, but I feel like it could be on my new LED. I realize I could just turn the TV off, but I have a bad habit of leaving it on. I guess my question is, is there anything to prevent burn in?

Cameronmyers74 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I thought burning the image into the screen only happened on plasma's? if it happens on leds that would be the first I heard of it Edit: here's a link to samsungs site about burn in: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00001261&fm_seq=1429 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakin Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Try running this on it. Make sure you turn it to your tv's max resolution Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

sprkn_ranger Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I've heard of image retention on an LCD but never burn in on an LCD. Only on a plasma or CRT. Image retention is not permanent and goes away after a few minutes. I wouldn't worry about your new LED TV you are getting cause it's just an LCD with led's for back lighting as compared to fluorescent lights found in older flat panels.

Lbox88 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 If I ever pause a game and have to do something I just switch it over to regular TV/cable. Come back in 15 minutes after I get the kid back to sleep or whatever and flip back to video again. UBL | Build Log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan2427 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 On black screen on my old HP plasma (one of the first plasmas off the mayflower I'm pretty sure lol) I have burn in of sports center on the left side telling you what's coming up next, and the the bottom and bottom right it says ESPN and SC. I'm due for a new tv so I haven't worried about it! Only has one HDMI slot, only 720p or 1080i capable and weighs like 250lbs for a 50 inch tv. But anyway in my settings on the tv I have a "white wash" setting if you have something burnt in. I've never tried it tho. My dad has a samsung LED tv and plays ps4 on weekends for a 4-5 hours and I've never seen burn in! 2003 GMC Yukon Denali Alpine CDA 117 Redoing Mids/Highs 4 Runs of 1/0 Knukonceptz 2+, 2- 4 Deka 9A31's in back (Stock underhood) 250 amp Alt.
