We have 50 of these 42" Hitachi Plasma Displays with the same type of
screen burn.

If you have any ideas on how to successfully remove/minimize/fix this
problem, please let us know.

If we receive a successfull suggestion, we will give you one of these
42" plasma screens.

Thanks for your help,

Please post here email contact so you can send me one.
The fix is: Buy a new plasma screen.
Screen burn on these is permanent. The display panels are not
available as a part as they are 99% the cost of the whole unit and cost
more to ship as a part due to the special packing then it does to ship
it installed in the unit.

Well, you could display exactly the opposite image until the whole
screen is equally burned :-).

Burn the rest of the screen with an image inverse to the burn, so all
pels have equal burn.

Is the burn confined to the periphery or to a corner, eg a station
logo? If so, would it be possible to modify the electronics so that
the viewable area would be limited to the good portion?

Sell 'em as-is at a relatively low price (USD 1000 or even 800)-- it's
better than throwing them out, and I've seen new 42" plasmas for below 2000.

Perhaps a little tweak to the image control will make the burn less
prominent. I'd think dialing down the brightness might help

Correct!! You just earned a used 42" Plasma display. I"m sure you'll
be contacted soon to arrange shipment.

Do you think people will pay a $1000 Dollars for a Damaged screen with
TV's as cheap as they are? A hundred or two maybe. You can by a
reasonable big screen for new for $1200 to $1500.

on some plasma models there is a button to flash the screen which reduces the
burn effect, but has the downside of reducing the life of the display by very
slightly dimming it for each use.

please send plasma tv.

Anywhere from $100-$500 is probably about right, depends on the amount of
burn, but even a moderately burned screen may still be fine for playing
video games.

The problem is highly saturated images like video games are about the worst
thing for a plasma screen. I suppose you can cover one burn with
another........

That is the perfect solution. You'd have to provide a fast memory with a
gain
constant for RGB at each pixel. But, that's no big deal anymore. If
there's
an accessible place to put it in the digital, that would be best. Else,
you're
going to have to convert to digital to do the lookup. The mapping could
be
determined automatically with a PC-controlled video pattern generator and
photometer.

So, probably about $100,000 of engineering time and equipment and you'll
be
all set. How much were you going to charge?

Add some driver circuitry and sell them to clubs as decorator items - not
for real video, just moving decoration.

If the brightness and contrast are set to something reasonable and the same
game isn't played for hours on end every day it shouldn't be a problem,
besides if they're already burned in a bit more burn isn't the end of the
world.

Its easy .. you simply buy a 42``canvas sign and tape it over the screen
and never power on the monitor . Guaranteed to work every time.

It depends on where and how you market it. For some reason, despite all
the reliability and heat concerns, people drool for plasma. Even with
an imperfect display, there's probably a few people who would pay 800
for a status-symbol display. Hell, call it a benefit: it makes the
daft network logo in the corner of the screen look bad!
