hdtv's and burn in?

Re: hdtv\'s and burn in?

It is perfectly fine to play games on any rear projection TV. Just don't leave a game paused or play for a really, really long time in one sitting. It would seriously take a really long time of one image being onscreen for it to burn in like they say.

The thing a lot of people don't realize is that burn in will happen on any tv, no matter what you watch or play. The key thing is that you want the phosphors to burn EVENLY so that there is no visible "image" burnt permanently onto the screen. That is where games come in.

Most games have something on the screen that is always there, no matter what level or screen you are on. These are the things that are liable to get burnt in.

Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it. Unless you play games on it for like 8 hours a day every day, by the time burn in would even become an issue, you will have probably bought a new TV.

When I used to work as a game tester, we would play the same game over and over again for 8-12 hours a day, six days a week and not once in two years did I see a TV have a problem (but controllers are a different story).

I'm saving up to get a DLP televison. Perfect for gaming: not only is it the best quality, it also won't burn-in.

Been using my XBOX on my 57" Toshiba HDTV Proj TV since I've had it(about a month) and have no problems yet. Even had quite a few all nighters playing NCAA etc..

Re: hdtv\'s and burn in?

yes, i'm sure there would only be a problem if one were to leave the game unpaused and walk away for a day or two, still can't figure out why in the manual it says you can watch two shows at once with PIP then they tell you no warranty if it burns in, strange they would even have the option there
