Talk about leaving PJ on all night in error

A digital owner was worried about his daughter leaving the projector on all night. What if a CRT projector is left on all night? Seems to me my Dwin goes into a all black mode, with no light coming from the lenses, when I leave it on with no signal for a while. My RPTV CRT does the same thing.

What are the dangers?

A menu option to power down if the projector see's no signal for a while would be useful.

Hello

Except for several hundred watts on your electric bill, there is neglegible wear to the machine.

We get hammered and leave our mitsu dlp in the garage on all the time.

Just hours on the bulb.

Same here I have a love of fine cigars and single malt scotch, late into the night smoking by the fireplace. Somtimes I'll crash on the floor leaving the RPTV/CRT going, lifes tuff. It's good to know I'm not doing any harm, to the TV I mean.

Last week i was showing my new Girlfriend the theater and left my soon to be replaced Marquee 8000 on for 4 days before i went down there to work on calibrating the Blend, the room was about 90 ° !!! But the PJ still worked fine the next day.

I guess the line:

'Wanna see my 8" stack?' worked, huh?
