Pixel Shift for Screen Burn Protection
This does exactly what it says it does. It moves (shifts) the entire picture(made of pixels) to the left, right, up and down. Most go left, then down, then right and finally up. This means that any static images are shifted and made less(static). Beware! This is usually only by a few pixels each way(4 is common) so any static image bigger than 4 pixels still has a significant impact on the potential for image retention. However every little does help and if your TV has it I would recommend using it all the time.
In your TV menu you will probably have the option to set how often the screen shifts and by how many pixels. I would set the number of pixels to whatever the maximum is and the time delay between shifts to no more than 5 minutes. The shift is usually totally imperceptible and it will help a bit with the screen burn problem.

hello, i have a Sammy 42" plasma, I've had it for a year now. last night i was playing a game on the ps3 and i noticed the health bar and ammo logo still on the screen, screen burn, it there a setting for video game consoles?...thx,,,,
Yeah quite common. Green life bars and cross hairs are the worst.
Try using any built in screen washes. Samsung usually hide them in the menu under something like
Settings > Screen Burn Protection >
Signal pattern.
Also calibrate your baby to reduce the chances of getting it again. A calibrated TV has lower output so gets less screen burn and lasts longer!
Failing that try PixelProtector DVD.
