After buying my 1st Pioneer Plasma in September 08, all that I used it for was XBox360 gaming and Blu-Ray movies from new, no SKY or normal TV.
After about a year playing the same XBox game for about 150 hours, I noticed to my HORROR VERY BAD IR/BURN across the top of my screen, the HUD/lifebar from the game NINJA GAIDEN 2. So I set about to cure this problem, if at all possible, I tried ALL the known cures (Snowy picture) etc with no luck. So in my last ditched attempt I ordered the Pixel Protector DVD.
After trying it a couple of times I did see a BIT of improvement so I decided to call NICK at Pixel Protector, we had a lengthy chat (this guy Nick is quite possibly the nicest chap I have spoken to over the phone, he knows what he is talking about) talking about what settings to use on the TV for the Screen Washes:
We came up with this:
Week 1:
1. Set Contrast And Brightness up to about 75%
2. Run Screen Wash 2 for 8 hours Twice a week
Week 2:
As above but Set Contrast And Brightness 5% higher each time
so by week 5 they are both 100%
Well all I can say is that I'm on week 3 and my IR/Burn has virtually GONE and believe me my IR/Burn was very VERY bad... so in conclusion there is hope for everyone with this problem. I can not stress how good this product is, and now with a Blu-Ray version out things can only be better
THANK YOU Nick for saving my VERY expensive TV and for this AMAZING product!"
