This whole burn-in thing is getting ridiculous. I have had more TVs(CRT) than I care to count and NONE have ever had burn-in. It takes literally months of the same image being on the screen 24/7 for the image to burn in.
BTW, RPTV LCD, DLP, LCoS do not burn in. They use a lamp. RPTV CRT can burn in, but only over a very long time. Plasmas are the same way as. People are stressing about something that will probably never happen.
