If someone could solve this problem, they would be foolish to post the
solution here before patenting it. Think of the $millions that could be
made refurbing plasma screen TVs!
Sure, i got the solution. You buy some of those fake bullet holes that
they sell to stick on cars and put it on the plasma screen over the burn
marks!
There is a solution, but its not cheap. The people with the ideas for
anti burn on the undamaged part of the screen are off base. Why? the
logo or image that is burned was a consistent image. The rest of the
screen probably had moving video that was constantly changing. So how do
you realistically do that?
The solution is like a audio Mix minus. (or in this case a mix plus).
The signal goes into a video processor. The bad pixel areas are mapped
out by address, color and loss of color. The incoming signal sent to
these areas are then boosted to make up for the loss of the phosphor
intensity. Essentially, a look up table which will add signal intensity
to any signal goes into these areas. And compensates by how degraded
each pixel is.
That out to be worth two free monitors!
From the looks of the OP's Email, he is probably a surplus seller
looking to make a fast buck off of these. If these were in a airport or
such with large stationary graphics, there probably a lost cause. This
is NOT a good application for a plasma monitor
