Plasma Screen HUD Burn-In
Destiny is console exclusive, which means almost all players play on a television, not a monitor. Many of these players play on plasma screens, millions in fact. The average play session of Destiny is logged by Bungie at 4 hours. I fall around that mark, and that's about all I've used my TV for lately, as I'm sure is the same for many players.
This leads to a huge problem, one that may have already permanently damaged my near $3K TV, the HUD is burnt into my display.
I'm a very proud owner of the "65in Panasonic VT60, and I paid a very pretty penny for it. Millions of others also playDestiny on plasmas, and the fact is no matter how "worn in" a plasma is, it is still prone to burn-in or image retention.
Either can occur after a static image is left on the screen for an extended period of time, like say, playing Destiny for a few hours a day, with no other content appearing on the TV in between.
From my recent average playtime, I now have a retained image of the bottom left HUD area burnt in my display; super bar, all 3 weapon slots, among blur where ammo is counted and so on.
I left my TV wiping for 12 hours, and the image is still there.
(Update 11/19) My TV has been wiping for almost 24 hours, and still has the HUD clearly burned in.
(Update 11/20) My TV has been wiping for almost 48 hours straight. The HUD is still there, but instead of a dark gray shadow, it seems to be a tinge of pink. This is a bad sign)
There is a simple solution for preventing this, and still being able to enjoy long play sessions. Battlefield 4 got this perfect right off the bat, they added the option to adjust HUD opacity in the video options. This completely stomped the possibility for image retention, and even after hundreds of hours of gameplay I never had a problem.
For those who don't know, this option would make it possible to have your HUD slightly see-through so the pixels are being stimulated.
This is a very big deal, and has the potential to ruin many plasmas, only from playing Destiny for an average play session, even with days in between.
BUNGIE PLEASE, add a simple HUD opacity slider and put all your plasma owners at ease.
Love, every Destiny player with a plasma.
Please comment to get this noticed.

Turn brightness and contrast to max - it's only a short term thing so would suggest doing it on a different picture mode. If your Plasma has screen brightness or panel brightness (can't remember the exact phrase), set this to max also. Turn off screen pixel movement for this bit only! Make sure to turn it back on after :). Now run the screen wipe program - 30 minutes first. Turn it off and allow it to cool. An hour second time and again, turn it off to allow it to cool. Finally 4 hours of it and that "should" fix it or reduce it to a low enough visibility. This has a 95% chance of success for people I have done this for (previous Samsung engineer - now work for FPS game manufacturer). So once this has hopefully worked, turn on game mode immediately for that HDMI channel! Turn on moving pixels / screen burn protection and set to max! Reduce panel brightness to 50% max and then change brightness and contrast to correct levels. Quick hint for a better picture, set "sharpness" to zero. HiDef sources are ruined by sharpness settings lol. Hope this works. Let me know chap :)
