PLASMA/LCD & Video Games?

Question

Whats the risk of playing video games on a lcd or plamsa tv regularly, 6-8hrs daily. I was thinking to by a new tv but heard a rumour that plasmas can only be played for an hour on and lcd tvs have a slow reaction time with video games(i believe it's called response rate/refresh rate). Would either or be specifically worse for online lag?

If i were to put the settings on above average(such as 'vivid') and play 6-8hrs daily on a 50" plasma screen which was manufactured in 2007+ would i be subdued to burn-in? Do LCD's Burn in at all?

On a side question, can i play ANY video game system on a plasma/lcd tv for a prolonged period of time? ex Xbox 360, PS2, N64

Answer 1

When using PLASMAS for video games it creates burn in or an image that litereally burns into the screen and stays there and seem slike a "ghost". Nowadays however plamas have new technology that prevents burn in but that doesn't help much because of the large amount of color, light, and movement that happens on a video game.

Using LCD's are the best way to go for using video games and they too last longer than plasmas.

Answer 2

first off i must say yo should not play games that much get a job instead.

the plasma will burn and very quickly with the hours you play

LCD is not a s crisp as the plasma but you can hardly tell the difference
