DailyTech - Australian Viewers Get "Burned" by Their Local TV Stations
Boy, would I be pissed if this happened. But they should have know better to watch anything on a plasma. What were they thinking, plasmas are just for looks.
An Australian man is fuming mad over two local TV stations deciding to use solid-color logos for their sports programming. As a result, Wayne Spiers is now left with a $3,000 plasma screen TV which features 'burned in' Channel 7 and Channel 9 logos.
The Channel 9 logo appeared as a result of boxing coverage that his family watched for five days. The Channel 7 'Sport' logo became permanent after a days worth of tennis coverage.
Television stations typically use transparent logos which are not as prone to leaving a 'burned image' on screens. Seeing as how it isn't really feasible to have a screensaver on a television screen, solid-color logos are bad news for plasma owners.
Legal action is being threatened by customers against both stations.
