Question

Does the screen of a plasma TV really get hot after 2-3 hours of use?

Answer 1

Yes they do get hot and also I recommend that you get it calibrated. It will make your plasma last longer, use less energy and of course not get hot. It also gives you a even better pic!! The blacks and whites are more true. Best Buy offers it for the cheapest, but not all of them are doing it just yet. I would Call your local best buy and the geek squad dose it. they come to you. I wanna say its around 200 bucks.

Answer 6

A Plasma screen TV builds a LOT of heat. When in a store, place you hand over the top vents and feel the heat being given off as compared to the LCD or the DLP format. It is enough to warp and/or ruin the wood furniture you place it in.
