I have read numerous threads about burn-in and people experience with it. I know what it is and what causes it. My question is if you are watching something or playing a game with a static image does that image start the effects of burn-in right away. Say I'm playing a game with a static logo or image. I only play that game for a few hours and either shut it off or power down the set. When I turn the set or the game back on is it like that image was never there or does any amount of time slowly start the effects of burn-in. Does this question make any sense???
I am dying to get a wide screen and have been waiting a few years until the prices were a bit more in my league. But the idea of spending $2500 and having to be leary of everything I do because of burn-in paranoia just doesn't sit well with me. Yes I know there is always LCD and DLP but for the size and picture quality I want I just can't constitute the price at this time. And just in reading here both of them seem to have their own batch of problems. My original plan was to get the CRT wide screen and wait 5-6 years and then jump into one of the newer technologies once they improved and price came down. My only other option is the 40" Sony tube. But I can say in all honestly that once it was here I doubt I would be 100% happy after building myslef up to wanting wide screen.
