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 |

Same issue, huge pain in the ass. The ammo/health circles retained so bad I had to bring my monitor through to play Dust a week ago, and they're still visible on-screen.
You can temporarily get around it by changing the screen size, but it just burns the bright GUI into a different part of the screen and also further ruins the already dodgy image quality, so it's not much of a fix. Throw us a bone CCP some people like black levels. |

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). |

Same issue hear with image retention. Posted about a transparency level for the HUD awhile back hopefully we can get some attention to this.
As well mine is a Panasonic plasma, it will fade but you need 3 days of other programming playing.
Let's keep this one up on the to do list, PLEASE CCP |

What do you usually use if I may ask?
I use the pixel flipper for a few hours, then run some file I found on the internet that has different colour swirls then a checkboard fade in and out, seems to do the trick but after a 6 hour session I need to run it for a few days. Real PIA if I wanna watch a hockey game. I will notice smudging on the ice where the ammo and health are found. |

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 have a usb stick with a video i found online of a scrolling black and white bar. It works great for IR. If CCP could add even a remove hud option (Sort of like hardcore option) where it removes all info on the screen apart from the map maybe that would be a great idea. |

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. |

Looks like those of us that enjoy deep blacks and rich colors are still S.O.L.
Please add a hud transparency setting or at least make the hud go down when running or something to that nature. It looks awesome the way it is. but would be way more beneficial for those of us with plasma television sets if you would change it, not even as a whole, a setting to change it individually would be great. I can only spend two skirmish matches at a time as of right now. then i have to turn on anti-image retention software for an hour. Which is really a hinderance to such great gameplay.

Yes, it's gotten much worse with this build. I was getting data from the market screen, and I very quickly noticed the ISK/AUR numbers getting shadowed into other screens. Same with the chat squares and planet info. |

After several weeks i had to downgrade to a 24" LED due to burn-in on our panasonic plasma. After 3-4 weeks the hp and ammo circles as well as the tacnet radar had gone away.
Just be sure to Max your brightness and contrast before running the anti-image retention bar. It will help a lot.
Fact is, that bright, stationary hud will get your panasonic plasma sooner or later. |

I too Have a Plasma and would love to see this feature implemented. Long play sessions sometimes induce slight ghosting of the HUD, most notably the Shield and Armor indicator and Ammo indicator.
I am playing on a 2011 model Slim, HDMI output obviously.
Not to be rude but I fail to see how ps3 console model type would have anything to do with this issue. It's not a bug, it's a problem inherent to long duration standing images on a plasma display.
We're asking for the option to adjust HUD opacity, not a bug fix. I understand it's not something to expect overnight but it'd be nice to have the option eventually.

Using a first gen PS3 fat, bought it when it first came out 001 model. Ammo and health leaving bad ghosting, notice it when watching Hockey or solid blue, white screen. The health bars for the MCC are starting to work in too.
The plasma is a Panasonic 50u50. As well, the new build doesn't fill my screen vertically (perfect horizontally) I have about on inch or two on the top and bottom, like watching a widescreen movie. Other in my corp have noticed this as well on their tv's. |

The model of PS3 has nothing to do with a problem that is literally just a static, full brightness ring being displayed in the same place of the screen for hours at a time. |

i am using a 2012 slim model. got it on black friday 2012 brand new. I got my 50 inch panasonic plasma tv the same day, also brand new. I have it hooked up with hdmi connection. I notice it most on the shield/ armor circle. But also quite noticable now on the ammo circle, and slight image retention from the minimap circle. |

I'm using a launch fat PS3 with a 55in. Panny plasma VT-series as I recall.
It's mostly a brightness/contrast thing. In games that support it, you can either toggle the HUD off, or use a HUD that only lights up when you're get damaged (health pops up them) or what have you. Games that animate the HUD or have less HUD/background contrast have fewer issues too. Games with a fixed and bright HUD will leave burn-in, and sometimes have you using anti-retention features after or between sessions (or just cutting them short).
Ideally we could individually toggle transparency or appearance of individual elements of the HUD. Things like the weapon/swap screen are only up for a second, and don't really matter. The ammo, etc. displays are the ones that leave a mark. Being able to toggle feedback elements would also be nice (the amount the screen lights up when the Forge Gun is charged and holding or you're taking damage) would also be nice, but that's not plasma-specific. |

Thank you.
And to note, I have no complaints of what the game elements look like, the color and design you've guys have is gorgeous, and I'd hate to see it go for everyone because it's rough on some of our screens.
But a IR safe mode option, there for any of those at risk, is a good one to have. (And remember, it's not just the HUD, but anything fairly static, like the ISK/AUR/SP info, and even menu box lines. In the MQ, a delayed start automatic camera rotation when idle could be an easyish fix.)
I know you have a lot of things to work on, especially stuff inside matches, but the sooner this is in, the sooner I know I can rest easy about hardware that would be a bit onerous to have to replace. |

Please fix this. At least make a color change for the HUD available. Preferably a black one to counter the bright blue that is already there. I have a new plasma tv and after only an hour i notice a slight image retention from the bright blue HUD. |

My .02 isk...
I'm running a 51 in. Samsung 3D capable plasma, and any IR I've had is very minimal. It does exist, but not to the extent I'm reading about here, and generally goes away in less than an hour after switching to video content. This TV is also hooked up to my gaming computer that runs the rest of the home systems. No windows OS burn in at all. Mostly gaming IR, like the Dust HUD. Got my vote for a transparency option as well.
Just out of curiosity, are you Panny guys running 3D plasma sets? I've read elsewhere that 3D plasma sets are less likely to have issues, even if you're running a standard HD refresh rate.. can't remember why that was stated, or where I found that article tho. |

Yeah Phakk my panny is 3D,and up until now I've never really had much problem with it , I'm even playing game ATM on lower contrast and brightness settings(in game mode) just to try and cut it out a bit , but it doesn't help to be honest, 30 mins in game and retention is back , as I have already posted I had scrolling bar running all last night and it still there, it is going but will prob need another night of scrolling bar to move completely , but it will come back once I play again. I really hope this is sorted , as I'm really enjoying game ATM |

Mine is not 3D but have heard the same things that they are less prone (should have spend the 150 more), have reverted to an old Hitachi 51 rear projection HD TV. Its goods to see they are looking into it.
As far as the others trying to get the retention out, the best luck I have had is to run the pixel flipper on the Disney WoW dvd and not play on that tv till they lessen the brightness or come up with something to dull the white. Though I do like the HUD on this game my OCD wont allow me to play on that tv knowing it will be there. Its basically all gone and can only be noticed on a dull white back ground. As well, the black bars on the top and bottom aren't going to help the image retention either.
I have faith it will all be fixed in the end thanks for responding PHOTON.

If a plasma is the only display you have, a crappy temporary fix for this is resizing your screen from the options menu every now and then to change up the area affected. It doesn't move it far, the image quality suffers, and if you're hammering Dust to cap each week it's not going to be enough to stop the rings burning into your display, just slow it down some. Not really a fix at all! |

Hmmmmm...the easyest way to fix the problem ist simply not playing this game till ccp solve the hud question. I can play half an hour and i see ghost huds...it happens that quick, cause the hud ist white, the plasmacells have to work on their highest levels when showing white...its deathly, and i do not wanna buy a new tv, and i do not wanna play on my lcd pc monitor with my ps3 sorry...so....i cant play actually
Best option for me is to hide all the menue stuff while changing nothing, that will bring a better game expirience too, or make them clear, also very good...

I'm running a Panasonic plasma as well - same issue (and my girlfriend is going to chop off my head if the IR stays). I've messed with the TV's video settings a little bit and it might help. Turn your cell light all the way down, and change the contrast a bit. The game gets pretty dark, but it might help! |

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
Set the pixel orbiter to "On" not "Auto" this should reduce the IR |

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.

This was first thing I done when I started getting image retention , it didn't help

This thread is nearly 3 months old, nearly 2 months ago CCC Photon said problem has been noted for any future improvements to the HUD system, so why has it not been fixed by now ?
this might not be high up in CCP list of priority s , but this is a big issue and should have been sorted by now. As this can cause long term problems for anyone playing on a plasma TV.
Anyone who is playing on a plasma TV be very careful as image retention ,could turn to burn in playing this game for even short
periods of time. But CCP don't seem to be worried about that, otherwise this would have been fixed by now

Here is an update:
The requested HUD transparency feature has been planned and the work divided between 2 internal teams. Unfortunately this feature didn't make it into the latest release because of other critical fixes and feature work that was placed at a higher priority. However, we will endeavour to deliver it as soon as we can.

Hopefully it makes 1.3, any lead on this being looked after is great. Unfortunately my plasma will never forget dust as I have burn in where the ammo and health can be found. Havent played dust on the plasma in 3 months. The radar was starting too, but I stopped playing on my plasma to avoid it. No other game has ever done this to my tv.
I am still surprised no one at ccp noticed this from |

if its taken this long to fix this , what hope we got for other issues in game, I've said before be careful when playing this game on a plasma tv, it can do long term damage image retention/ perm screen burn |

I'm no expert but they can update their store every week to sell items , but they can't make a simple change to the HUD, how hard can it be to make it transparent ? Even a temp fix that would allow us to play without doing damage to our TV's, I'm sure an adjustment could be made without disrupting the game to long,
But sure they make money out of updating the store, so that gets priority!

Wow. I thought I was the only one with the problem. Glad I used the search feature.
Well, first off. I believe I may have burn in. I cannot get the huds to go away even after several months. I really wish CCP would do something, I really love playing but I cannot because of this issue. I have to play on the bedroom tv which is uncomfortable and if my wife is playing then I cannot play, unless I want to subject my beautiful plasma to the harsh conditions of the hud.
Even an option to remove it would be nice. The map and objective indicators are also a problem. We need to make it near transpearent or like I said, completely remove them. |

You shouldn't have to do this, if CCP had fixed the HUD issue , I've said before this should have been fixed long before now, it's a major issue as it can do perm damage to ur plasma TV , they have known about this for at least 4 months but still seem to ignore
Their game can and does cause image retention or screen burn ,so be warned as CCP don't seem to care about this, best way to play ATM is AFK .or just don't play at all |

I'm running a 51 in. Samsung 3D capable plasma, and any IR I've had is very minimal. It does exist, but not to the extent I'm reading about here, and generally goes away in less than an hour after switching to video content. This TV is also hooked up to my gaming computer that runs the rest of the home systems. No windows OS burn in at all. Mostly gaming IR, like the Dust HUD. Got my vote for a transparency option as well.
Just out of curiosity, are you Panny guys running 3D plasma sets? I've read elsewhere that 3D plasma sets are less likely to have issues, even if you're running a standard HD refresh rate.. can't remember why that was stated, or where I found that article tho.
I have a newish Pani 3d plasma and there is some light retention after a steady hour, goes away fairly fast though. Back to back BF3 leaves a little burn to, but less than Dust. This Tv has a screen wipe and shuts itself off. Also movies dont burn that I've noticed. |

Go OLED. Better than plasma and cost less to run. OLED has the same contrast ratio capabilities as plasma but the burn in is less severe. Electrical fatigue wears on all screens whom have element sized lights but the OLEDs show it less. More expensive but probably better life so it works out. Well, if you are paying to cool your room then they aren't that much cheaper.
DLPs offer great pictures but they use bulbs that need replacing. Gotta love those mirrors. |

I played a game last night , yes it's a bit better but still not good enough , so looks like I won't be playing again until fixed properly, sadly I won't be playing while it can still cause screen burn, but it's a start so hopefully they will make it more transparent and do it soon, otherwise I'll be gone.
Think we have waited long enough for this to be fixed properly

As mentioned above, a HUD Tranlucency option was added in 1.4 - this new option is best used in combination with the other video options to get optimal results.

I have made other adjustments to the settings, I've even turned brightness and contrast down on my tv to the extent that the picture is so dark making the game unplayable.
I still have slight retention from 2 months ago it is fading but slowly , the new tranlucency option is a start but still not good enough to stop this happing again, so please look at this again
It's taken 2 months for this to fade but not disappear completely , so I won't be playing until its fixed so this won't happen again

In all due respect sir. I have adjusted my ingame options as well as my tv options. I die A LOT because my screen is so dark I cannot see the enemy.
It would be nice if we had the option to make the HUD more transparent or......maybe an option to remove it all together. Or maybe even and option to change the colors of the HUD. <------That might be too much but at least let us have the option to remove it or make it near invisible. Kind of like the Aero on WIndows 7 taskbar.

Thanks for adding this. Not sure why these guys are still complaining, though. For anyone with a plasma TV, just whack the new transparency option up as far as you can while still being able to read the display and that's all you need. It won't magically remove any existing retention, but if it's a decent TV that'll fade away over time and other content. |

i have done this,and sadly its still not enough,i dont expect it to fix the existing retention that this game has already caused,but i do expect it to cut down the risk of it happening again but it doesnt i have tried, im complaining because i want to be able to play this game without doing damage to my expensive plasma TV which is a decent one btw, but the retention that has been caused over 2 months ago is still there,yes it is fading ,this is with running the scrolling bar over night on a lot of occasions,and also running slides, so if this is best we going to get then ,thank you CCP for the effort,but ill pass on this game. |

Incidentally, 100 Transparency does not eliminate the HUD as I though it might. |

Worked for myself, the transparency option is great. But once there is burn in even slight. There will always be burn in.
