We never ever ever sell consumer grade plasma's (they look like crap right now) We sell only commercial (pro) plasmas
You can get Plasma proof ir targets or just locate you target away from plasma.
We will sometimes install 2 targets inside the front right and left speakers under the grills . that way they are invisible and not
as susceptible to ir/sun/plasma/ florescent lights.
As to the electrical tape over the targets GIVE ME A BREAK do you use electrical tape for securing your wires too ? Plllease .
Do you get paid for this ?

Yes Sheikster is correct the tides they are a changin.
