Just got a 32" Wega-How do I prevent burning in the screen??
Title pretty much sums it up. How do i prevent cetain images from being burned in to the screen?? The manual says things such as TV station logos can become burnt in? Does this mean I shouldnt watch TV on my Wega?? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as the manual also states the burning problem is not covered with the warranty (great).

Well I don't know much specifically about the Wega, but burn in occurs when something is repeatedly shown on the screen. So if you watched a channel a lot, the logo of that channel is osmetimes in the bottom right corner. still those logos aren't bright and with commericals and other channels shouldn't be a huge concern.
Another helpful hint is to turn down the brightness of your TV. Tweaking the settings like that can further prevent burn-in

Don't worry about Burn-in on your Wega, it is not really a concern on CRT displays. If you had a RPTV you should be somewhat worried, but not a direct-view Wega.
The only possible way burn in could occur is if you left one image on the screen non-stop for weeks or even months at a time. As it is the network logos are not on during commericals and not as bright as before, so there is little to no risk.
