I'm new so forgive me ... I am hearing a lot about torch mode and burn in. I understand both concepts, but I simply cannot believe that with "normal" use, burn in is inevitable. Sure, if you leave your TV on a near-static signal (such as a ticker or "bug") there will be problems, but several posts have made it sound that this can happen within hours. Surely such a fault would either have created such an uproar that no one would spend the amounts of money that they do on RPTV's or that manufacturers would have fixed the problem in some way. Please ... educate me.

To get educated, read. This forum is flooded with posts on burn-in. It IS an issue and the dirt little secret of TV's. If you are careful, it can be avoided. If not, you can get it in no time flat.
