So I have a Plasma TV and have had it for about a year, upgrading from the inFocus72 which I loved with its 100" screen but after a long period of use I ended up selling it because I got the Plasma. Long story short, this Plasma seems to constantly get burn in images and nothing I do seems to prevent it. Sure it has a built in screen saver that is worthless, but if I watch ESPN or play LBP for example, the darn thermometer would burn the screen (until I learned to turn it off). Anyways, if I watch something else the burn ends up going away in a few hours or so but its just a nuisance if I walk away from the TV especially if a game is paused, and I come back and its burned. Anyone know if there is something that can save this from happening? I hate turning off the TV if I walk away from a paused game. TV is a Samsung PN50A650

Turning off your TV or getting a new one are probably the only perminant solutions. You could try turning the Gama (brightness) down a lot and making sure the colors aren't over saturated, it may help. I'm presuming you play in HD and the TV was new when you got it? Seems a tad odd for the plasma's of today, have you checked if other people have similar problems?

Yes, new and it has all the preventative measures, pixel shift, screensaver, but it seems that it doesn't kick on fast enough I guess. I upped the screen save on the PS3 to see if that will work (was 10 min, now its 5 min). TV is about year old or year in half rather and they way technology travels, im sure its probably the third or fourth model back from the newest, but it was 'theoretically' the best at the time. $$ prevents buying another one and my wife would probably kick me to the curb with the TV flying behind me... But, never tried turning the brightness down - will have to give that a shot, never thought of it so thanks!

You can turn off the thermo bar. I don't know how, but the feature is there.

it takes a long time for it to burn in i have one and i left a film a pause for about an hour and it was fine i think it has to be there for a long time like 5 hours for it to burn in

Yes it goes away, but does this mean this thing is going out already????

Sounds like a TV that's either defective, worn out, or just not especially well built. I'm not sure there's anything you can do about it, but you might do a google search for "stuck pixel fixer." Seems to me there was a web page that would flash a bunch of colors onscreen to clear up stuck pixels on LCDs. If you can find one, you can use the ps3's browser to bring it up and try it. Again, I have no idea if it will actually help, but it might be worth trying... though it would be annoying to have to do that every time even if it does work.
