The second set listed is the exact same one you're returning, and if you don't learn how to prevent burn-in will suffer the same fate. The others are LCD based sets and not subject to burn-in but are about the worst LCD based rptvs on the market--poor contrast ratio and lack of crispness.

Hitachi made the last of the good crt based rptvs, never got the hang of microdisplays.
Since you can't seem to keep a crt based set from burning in, I'd suggest a microdisplay set from another mfg.--Sony, Samsung, Mitsubishi, Panasonic.

Well i didnt cause the burn in see what happened was i purchased a store display 51f59 from a store (REX) that was no longer gonna have a retail store in my city well got it home and realized it had screen burn allready from a dvd the store had sitting on there apparently at some point so i contacted REX and since im over 100 miles away from there nearest store they said they would send me $150 for the problem or i can drive the tv 100 miles and return it i took the $150 and ran lol so i will have $540 plus $150 plus im gonna throw in another $50-$100 so $approx $750-800 to spend total with tax and shipping.

Would the above tv be better then the 57F59 that im thinking about getting?
i want to get the best bang for my buck and would prefer to not go smaller then 50 inches so please throw some info my way please otherwise i will just go with the 57F59 cause i know its a good tv

Sorry, you didn't say in your original message that the burn-in was already on the set when you bought it. Since that is the case and it's fairly easy to prevent burn-in when starting with a new set by all means get the 57f59, it's the best option you have at this time.
