Effect of filtered sunlight on Pioneer plasma plastic screen?

[phoenixplasma]

Hi all, I just got a new Pioneer plasma TV (50A5HD I believe) for xmas, and have been reading up on Pioneers and plasma TVs in general. I have the TV in break-in mode right now (reduced contrast/brightness, and USER ZOOM mode to avoid black bars & channel logos).

My question is, some links I've read state that the Pioneer uses an optical grade non-glass (i.e. plastic) screen, and the Pioneer FAQ says not to place the plasma TV in a room with strong light. My family room is pretty bright, with four tall windows which face southwest. I do have light filtering window treatments (cellular shades) installed, but should I be worried about the effect of the filtered sunlight on the Pioneer screen? I know that some plastics will yellow with age and light exposure, is this something I need to be concerned about with the Pioneer plasma screen?

BTW I'm not too concerned about the glare from the light because I don't watch much TV during daytime, and I prefer to use the LCD TV in my kitchen for casual (non-movie) viewing.

I will post some photos of my setup once I am able to do so.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Pioneer means not to have direct sunlight shining on screen for long periods of time (everyday for more than 4 hours), as with all plasma TVs.

Thanks. I live in Arizona, where we get a lot of sunlight and it can be pretty strong ( :D ) so I was just wondering if there's anything to be worried about. I'll post some photos of my room and setup once I am past 5 posts. :D

If you can see the sun reflected off the screen, move it. Otherwise, enjoy your new toy.

Awesome, just what I was hoping to hear. Thanks!

Ok, here are a couple of photos of my current setup:

The LCD TV in my kitchen:

I have a separate home theater room in my new house which I have pre-wired for a projector. That won't be done for a while however (I need to get the pool and landscaping done first :D). For now, I will enjoy the plasma. :)

Clearly you can read the statement as a warning about light hurting the TV or just a reminder that plasmas don't look good with strong light -- unlike LCDs.
