Can you play video games on a plasma or a lcd tv

Video games can be played on any television with a compatible input. However, if they are played on a plasma TV, there is a small risk of plasma burn. The effect is caused by static images being shown on the screen for long periods of time. It is seen as a faint ghost image that is overlaid on other images.

The effect is normally only seen if high contrast and bold images are shown on the screen. As most modern video games have moving backgrounds and low contrast text, the fault is rarely seen. Plasma burn has become less of an issue as plasma technology has been developed since they were introduced some years ago.

Although you don't need to be too concerned about the problem, it is worth reading the user manual and complying with the manufacturer's recommendations.
