Screen scroller not working on Samsung plasma?

Dang but it doesn’t reduce panel life as bad as burn in which ruins it … how long does a 1080ppanny plasma last ?

As far as I have ever been aware, running the scroller a few times a week for several minutes, to clear excessive retention when it happens, is not detrimental to the health of the panel. This one is over a decade old and shows no outward signs of fatigue...still very bright and uniform, with no visible permanent burn.
