image retention

Plasma displays also exhibit another image retention issue which is sometimes confused with screen burn-in damage.

Consider sets that offer image retention projection or feature a white wash mode should you get any sort of minor burn-in.

There are picture form modes for both 4:3 and 16:9 sources, while concerns such as static image retention or other ghosting issues won't affect this set.

Lots of image retention.

The Retina display on the MacBook has been criticized for "image retention".

Heat output and glare are improved in every generation, and while image retention does still exist, it's almost a complete non-issue for most users.

Image retention is still an issue, but again, it is fairly minor in practice for most, and modern plasma TVs will recover.

Will the Mac Mini have a problem with the plasma and it's "Image Retention" tendency?

In other words, turning off an LCD display for hours or days will relax the crystals and eliminate the image retention.

Susceptible to Screen burn-in and image retention (however, newer models have built-in technologies to prevent this such as pixel shifting)

Pixel shifting is a method implemented by plasma TV Manufacturers that prevents static images (e.g., station bugs, videogames) from causing image retention and burn-ins.

The amount of data stored and the retention period of the video or pictures are subject to compression ratios, images stored per second, image size and duration of image retention before being overwritten.

Before Definity's launch, LCD technology was commonly regarded as unsuitable for film recording purposes, despite its great potential: Main problems were limitations in bit depth, temporary image retention (TIR) and insufficiently saturated colors.

Earlier generation displays were more susceptible to screen burn-in and image retention, recent models have a pixel orbiter that moves the entire picture slower than is noticeable to the human eye, which reduces the effect of burn-in but does not prevent it.

While there has been a concern over issues such as burn-in (rightly so, as this could ruin that expensive TV), the latest models feature technology to address image retention, offering pixel shift modes that slowly move the full screen and, more importantly, remove any ghosting should static images actually "stick" the picture.
