Burning Round 2: now it's Panasonic's turn

Panasonic Viera TX-P50V10

In the long list of wacky experiments we've tried, one in particular stands out: the poor Samsung plasma TV that we spent all last summer trying our best to burn in.  We're trying again, this time with one of Panasonic's plasma TVs, but will we find the same result?

Last year, Samsung's TV came to the end of its days in our lab: no matter what they tried, our technicians couldn't get rid of the burn-in that was so severe there was no chance of recovery.  It's still languishing somewhere downstairs, unused and unloved …

Six months have passed, and we're going to try it again, this time with a Panasonic V10.  And watch out: we're using a 50'' model, the Panasonic Viera TX-P50V10, a great television that will set you back a good £1400 if you wanted to repeat our experiment.

So, is it true that Panasonic's plasmas are immune to burn-in?  We hope to bring you the answer soon …
