Why are there two rows of squares on the bottom of my plasma tv?
I just noticed a few days ago there are two rows of faded squares on the bottom of my Plasma TV screen. They are only noticable when the screen is white or gray (and a few other lighter colors). The tv is about 15 months old.
Image retention(burn-in). That’s a very common problem of older plasma Televisions. If you watch channels with non-translucent logos, the image can eventually harm the screen. Another potential burn-in cause, are watching a lot of programs recorded in 4:3 aspect ratio. Depending on how severe the damage is, sometimes it can be reversed or faded by displaying an all white image on the screen for a specified amount of time. Some plasma televisions have a screen-saver feature that comes on when a static(idle) image is displayed for a long time.
