What saddens me is not so much that the screens are ruined, but some family spent a lot of money to take their kid to a school and that's where their money went.

Yeah, I'm sure people going to Harvard Medical School are going to complain about the school spending money on plasma screens. Tuition is $2,320 a month.

The technology is flawed (as numerous others who have posted in this thread know). Even properly calibrated, your luck will run out. Maybe you have not experienced it yourself, but when it does you'll realize it is not just a matter of proper calibration.

I can't speak to the validity of the owner of the Hometheaterspot.com - whether his statement is really true, exaggerated or if he had his contrast and brightness levels set to 0 at the time. I only know my experience of a ruined display on a properly calibrated set.
I have no reason to lie, and I don't think the other posters in the same situation do either.

I still don't see how you guys can stand to actually watch a show with a logo for more than 10 seconds, burn-in or not.

My grandma left our properly calibrated set on HSN for a couple hours, and we have the faint outline of the item description area whenever the screen shows something bright.
I'm just hoping SED TVs don't have burn in problems... those are what I'm waiting for to get.
