Good Points: Simple instructions Helpful and friendly support on their website Totally removed my screen burn
Bad Points: No sound setup support.
General comments: I run a small consultancy business and I have the office plasma on Sky News for about 12 hours a day 5 days a week, and both the Sky News logo and the ticker were burnt into the screen. Having searched on Google for some advice I came across the DVD and thought I would give it a try.
The advice from the company is that the white and noise screens should be used in rotation for a couple of hours each, after running the white screen the severity of the burn in had reduced dramatically and then running the noise screen cleared up the remainder. I now use it once a week just on the noise screen and I haven't seen the burn in come back.
I would agree with previous user that it is strange that the DVD is in 4:3 and not 16:9 but I was able to put the screen into panoramic with my set, a Panasonic.
I haven't used the other screen for setting up colour and brightness as this isn't a home installation but that said I think I will try it on my home TV, a Samsung, to see if I can improve the colour representation.
