Anywhere from $100-$500 is probably about right, depends on the amount of
burn, but even a moderately burned screen may still be fine for playing
video games.

The problem is highly saturated images like video games are about the worst
thing for a plasma screen. I suppose you can cover one burn with
another........

Does the viewer then lose their memory about the MIB aliens?

That is the perfect solution. You'd have to provide a fast memory with a gain
constant for RGB at each pixel. But, that's no big deal anymore. If there's
an accessible place to put it in the digital, that would be best. Else, you're
going to have to convert to digital to do the lookup. The mapping could be
determined automatically with a PC-controlled video pattern generator and
photometer.

So, probably about $100,000 of engineering time and equipment and you'll be
all set. How much were you going to charge? :)

Add some driver circuitry and sell them to clubs as decorator items - not
for real video, just moving decoration.

If the brightness and contrast are set to something reasonable and the same
game isn't played for hours on end every day it shouldn't be a problem,
besides if they're already burned in a bit more burn isn't the end of the
world.

Every club needs a plasma screen over the Urinal........

Its easy .. you simply buy a 42``canvas sign and tape it over the screen
and never power on the monitor . Guaranteed to work every time.

Do you think people will pay a $1000 Dollars for a Damaged screen with
TV's as cheap as they are? A hundred or two maybe. You can by a
reasonable big screen for new for $1200 to $1500.

It depends on where and how you market it. For some reason, despite all
the reliability and heat concerns, people drool for plasma. Even with
an imperfect display, there's probably a few people who would pay 800
for a status-symbol display. Hell, call it a benefit: it makes the
daft network logo in the corner of the screen look bad!
