people have simply started using the term "gosting" around here interchangibly with "image retention" .. were all talking about burn in..
 
I believe the term "burn in" implies permanence, and if so, is not what people are experiencing.

once again, its just people using these terms interchangably. Many also call permanent burn in "ghosting", even wikipedia has permenent burn in labeled as ghosting. Yet many people here are calling IR "ghosting", while others say ghosting is simply phospher trails, or interlacing.. no wonder everyone is confused
