Do NOT use a plasma TV as a computer monitor. They are very suceptible

long time, that image will be burned into the plasma display
permanently. There is no way to repair this.

Modern plasma screens are not so susceptible to burn in as the early sets were.

My plasma screen is 6 months old and is regularly used as a monitor. It has also been used for
extended periods on Foxtel (with the bright logo). There is no sign of burn in.
