Re: Halo 3 nogs, post up your gamertags
 

roflcopter, appreciate the concern, but:

Dude, I used a 50" plasma, older model, crappier brand, for well over 6 months, solely for gaming, and NEVER had any issues. Sure, when the screen blacks out you will still barely be able to see previous image, but it never did any permanent damage. The only models I've seen sold at LG to employees with "burnin" were from watching analog tv where bars were placed around the edges, and on black screens you could see where the center of the tv was a little less black than the bars around the edges. Some broadcast with grey bars around the sides, which is annoying, but I guess is to somewhat equalize the "wear" on the plasma panel.

This is 60" with 2007 model "image enhancing" filters, 1080p resolution, and from a good display company (LG), along with a bunch of "anti-burnin" features. I'm not worried in the least. Also, as soon as I get a cabinet built for the projector, I'll have a 120" LCD image of the "crappy" 720p quality.

Plasma WILL burn in after sitting at the SAME screen for a LONG time. They use plasmas at work to display statistics for the day, and there is finally burnin after years of use. The only reason people are warned about playing games on them is so that the manufacturer doesn't get their asses sued if there's a game that happens to have a stationary picture that never is cleared, and the buyer that sits their ass at home all day playing the game doesn't bitch after there's a shadow of the image after a 10 hour long fragfest.

Regardless, I get these cheap enough that even if it had some burnin (which it won't), I could still sell it for more than I paid and buy a better, newer, bigger tv to replace it.

Here's the exact model I'll be buying:

at work, most customer complaints about plasma is burn in of the black bars that u ge from watching anything in 4:3 format or the widescreen bars since they dont move at all. Once the screen is damaged, when it fills up the colors change in the extremities where the bar were located.

:y

Exactly what I was saying above. The only burnin I ever see is from the 4:3 ---- having bars around the edge. Gaming is not an issue, and if you're afraid of it than you're a ----- :6

Regardless, there's some new HDTV FTA receivers, I have an HD-DVD drive, and rarely use the TV for anything other than movies or games...both of which will be in full 16:9 720/1080p.

Re: Halo 3 nogs, post up your gamertags
 

I think obviously the graphics are better but just like forza motorsport2 they take out more than half the good ---- and replace it with bull ----. Like all good maps on both games no longer can you duel weild needler half the honda motorswaps are gone and your force to awd 240 when you swap rb's into them the sould leave ---- alone and just add new ---- to it

Re: Halo 3 nogs, post up your gamertags
 

The needler also does a lot more damage and kicks major ass.

Re: Halo 3 nogs, post up your gamertags
 

I have played on a LCD, Plasma, and DLP ( all of which I bought from Jorsher :6 ). The plasma is so clean and burn in isn't crap.
