Plasma

Cycle 3 Test

A static 16x9 image from Fox News Channel was connected to each plasma TV through its component YPbPr input. This pattern contained three faces, white and yellow text, and a bright, stationary Fox News logo. It was left on the screen for a period of eight hours. (This test involved observations only, and no measurements.)

Cycle 3 Results

At the end of the eight-hour test cycle, two of the plasma TVs showed no ghost images from the Fox News still frame. The ghost image was evident on two more test plasma TVs only after detailed inspection and would not have been seen by the casual observer. The ghost image was quite visible, along with ghost images of the previous checkerboard and color bar tests, on the fifth plasma TV.
