Hello all, first of all wanted to say glad to be here, the forum seems very active and welcoming.
I recently got an older model Plasma TV, I got it on the cheap and everything seemed to be working fine.
However, after getting used to the TV, playing with the settings and noticing small things there are a couple things I'm assuming are either failing or that are associated with burn-in.
Whenever there are scenes where there is a lot of motion and fading or shading, it transitions the different shades and hues very poorly giving off a rainbow effect. Also, there will be a fine grain "mist" of particles, mostly dark or black that pepper into some of the lines. These grainy streams seem to happen more frequently on start-up and in contrasting shades (after it warms up).
I've tried a couple of plasma burn-in fix videos on youtube. Not sure if they're helping but I've had some sit for a few hours.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm a technician for the millitary so I am used to troubleshooting and even though new to the plasma game, I would like to understand and actually fix the TV. I would really like to try fixing this guy as I think this TV can have a very nice picture.

2nd Image with "rainbow effect"

In the second image there is also a vertical rainbow effect that is tighter, but this is just the iphone camera.
I try to be as descriptive as possible so if there's anything else you're wondering please let me know.
Thanks for taking a look!
Ian
