Although I probably already know the answer, i want to see if im right.

My Panasonic Tau CT-27HL15 has an IMAGE SHIFT function that the manual ( and the tv itself ) recommend be left on to prevent images being retained onto the screen. Since its a 4:3 HDTV, when it displays 1080i high def images it automatically switches to 16:9 mode and i cant undo it. My question is, will this IMAGE SHIFT function prevent the burn in on my expensive tv? I watch high def programming 80% of the time and standard def programs the other percentage, so that the whole screen gets a work out. I hope yous can give me the answer i think i have.
