Are plasmas and LCDs "burnfree"
Do these have any issues of burn in or warning about playing video games on them? I had always thought no, but a recent artical in a magazine (one of the Ziff Davis ones I believe) said it could cause trouble.
What's the real picture?

Wow, my head is spinning! So much to worry about, maybe I should hold off on the plasma after all. I was all ready to spend 8000 on a Fujitsu but maybe I should wait till they invent something to safegaurd. I was reading in Electronic House yeaterday that new technologies are being developed for this problem. What to do what to do?!! (don't worry I don't expect you to answer for me)
DLP, that a projector right?

DLP can be used in both rear projection and front projection systems. I guess that your question is in regards to DLP RPTV. Yes, it is a projection TV but with advantage over tradtional CRT RPTV. A Samsung 50 DLP RPTV is only 22" deep and weight at only 77 pounds. It cannot be hanged onto the wall like plasma but it sured does not take up a lot of space. Check out Samsung DLP at your local Best Buy or Circuit City this weekend. IMO, the picture quality of Samsung DLP rivals those of many plasmas.

I have an LCD comouter moniter from Samsung, and it is on about 14-16 hours a day.
The bottom bar from windows (with the clock and Start Menu) is always on the bottom, and no burn in whatsoever.
Prior to getting this I had read, as stated above, that LCDs were immune, and from personal experience, they are!
I highly recommend picking one up.

I love conventional CRT monitors and tube TV. I know somebody who had this huge smily face burned on this old CRT monitor. It was a riot.
Got no burn in w/ my LCDs monitors though, and they are on all day and night.
