Hello CCP,
I own a Panasonic P65ST50 (65 inch plasma 2012 model) that I play on and she's a beaut! The picture quality on the Panasonic plasmas is the connoisseurs choice in a world owerflown with cheap LED LCDs with poor black levels and overblown colors; my model was selected as the best HDTV last year by the wire cutter (http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-big-tv-is-the-panasonic-st50/). Now this is not a rant about LCDs and how awesome my TV is (there are more expensive and better models out there like the VT50 and this years new models, ST60, VT60 and ZT60) but a platform on which to build up my arguments. I'm sure you're aware of the main drawback of plasma technology: image retention (or screen burn-in as some people know it).
Plasma burn-in is something of the past though, if you use pixel orbiter and set the contrast to logical levels you can't permanently damage the display; it would take days of static images on max contrast to even come close. There is however image retention which can stick around for minutes, hours, and even days! While playing Dust 514 for many hours I've noticed that the HUD can leave image retention of the bottom left and right information panels (HP & ammo) plus some slight traces of the map information at the top left.
My solution so far has been to run slides after playing to get it off, this can however take hours only to get IR back the next day after playing. My question to you is if you can please add a setting to the transparency of the HUD? This would greatly diminish IR of the static parts on the screen. There are many people out there with these awesome displays and you can easily help us by adding this functionality. There is already transparency in the HUD and props for that, but we need more!
Thank you |

Wow, that's really strange Citpaan Hacos!
Computer monitors are much better suited for these kinds of games, but since Dust 514 is a console game CCP really needs to put extra consideration into the static elements of the HUD. Transparency is the easy fix, but there are also other possibilities like displaying more info on the weapons themselves (ammo) and health status only when needed (display nothing when at full health). |

There is a built in B&W scrolling bar on my Panasonic P65ST50, you can find it under Menu - Picture - Advanced Settings. That's all you need to get rid of IR, make sure you run it on full contrast. |

I don't know about that, fading the HUD when not "active" would be better; once you start firing the ammo HUD should intensify, same with taking hits or getting repaired. I'm confident CCP can sit down and come up with some neat ideas. |

Gotta love CCP, they have a guy named PHOTON to take care of this; we couldn't ask for anything more :)
Thanks everyone for bumping this issue; the forums really do work! |

I've connected the PS3 to my iMac for the time being, I just can't take it anymore.
This issue can seriously affect your display, be very careful; CCP please prioritize this. |

This should be a high priority problem because it stops people from actually playing the game, status quo CCP Photon? |

My IR has lasted for a month now, only slowly getting better; play at your own risk. |

CCP delivers but often slowly, it's a love/hate relationship. |
