FS: NEC 42" Plasma TV

Model # PX-42VP4DA

I have a few of these left that are in good condition and work fully, show picture. Do have burn-in though.

would rather local pickup but if you want to pay shipping you can.

$250 + shipping shipping is going to be about 75 bucks, so ill say $325 shipped, if its more then that ill eat it.

Also have some that have good screens and power on but will not display a picture. These im asking 75 bucks.

others have broken front glass, im pretty sure its just the glass panel in front but sold as is, they do power on but do not display picture. I guess would be best for parts/repair.

$60 each

if your sitting further then 6ft away its not really noticeable, any closer and you can see it. I dont know, it doesnt really bother me but it might bother other people, but thats why they are so cheap. if they didnt have burn-in they would be 700+

What do you mean by a "burn in"?

With phosphor-based electronic displays (including cathode-ray and plasma displays), the prolonged display of a menu bar or other graphical elements over time can create a permanent ghost-like image of these objects. This is due to the fact that the phosphor compounds which emit the light lose their luminosity with use. As a result, when certain areas of the display are used more frequently than others, over time the lower luminosity areas become visible to the naked eye and the result is called burn-in. While a ghost image is the most noticeable effect, a more common result is that the image quality will continuously and gradually decline as luminosity variations develop over time, resulting in a "muddy" looking picture image.
Plasma displays also exhibit another image retention issue which is sometimes confused with burn-in damage. In this mode, when a group of pixels are run at high brightness (when displaying white, for example) for an extended period of time, a charge build-up in the pixel structure occurs and a ghost image can be seen. However, unlike burn-in, this charge build-up is transient and self corrects after the display has been powered off for a long enough period of time, or after running random broadcast TV type content.

Plasma manufacturers have over time managed to devise ways of reducing the past problems of image retention with solutions involving gray pillarboxes, pixel orbiters and image washing routines.
