i have a Pioneer 50 inch plasma tv, i am not sure of the model number. i also have an XBOX 360 and call of duty 4. one of the game modes in xbox live is called "Hardcore team deathmatch" where you have no sights or no HUD and the bullets hurt you more. really this is the most realistic presentation of war in video games today. Now to my question: i got one of those laser levels that you put on a tripod and they spin around and it make a perfect line 360 degrees and just set it to make a single dot and not spin.( the spinner is broken anyway). i set the laser on the tv exactly where the bullets would go by lining up where the red dot dot sight shoots on the p90, but the bullets shoot the same with every weapon so i made a quick acquisition sight so i can just shoot without using the ingame sight. my question is: will this laser cause damage to my tv screen like with "Burn in" on the screen? My dad is worried that it will and doesn't want to risk it with a very expensive tv. please help but don't just say "your dad is a smart guy, don't risk it!". I want real scientific assessments from someone who knows these plasma displays, not some random person saying what I already know.

  1. NO!!! It will certainly not. Burn-in happens when the light emitting substances (phosphors) in the plasma age differently. This makes the screen unevenly aged, and aged phosphors look different than new phosphors. The laser has nothing to do with the aging of the phosphors. Shining a laser at the tv is just like shining an ordinary light on the tv.
