I did some research after xmas for my parents for a new HDTV. Seemed like the 42PZ77U was the tv to get, especially because burn-in was no longer a problem and it comes broken in. I suggested it and they got it.
I never watch the tv but I went up there tonight and I see in full screen HDTV programming, I can see the black bars on either side of the screen that is present when watching SD programming.
I left it on the HDTV program but half an hour later they are still quite apparent.
I don't think Sears will take the tv back, so it begs the question; is this burn in permanent? The FAQ at the top of the page has broken links, so I couldn't find any answers in there.
What should I tell my parents to prevent the burn in from becoming any worse? There are very few good programs on our HDTV channes, so watching movies / HDTV 70% of the time isn't an option.
