In Reply to: Need new TV - burn in question + posted by Don T on November 29, 2002 at 13:33:24:
A tube TV has the same burn in issues as does a rear projection model--both use CRTs. A 27" TV is really not heavy at all compared to a 32" or 36" TV; I am not particularly big but can pick up my 27" TV and move it short distances, but moving a 36" TV requires at least two people, maybe three if they aren't real strong. A good compromise might be something like my Sony 43" digital RPTV. It is only about 130 lbs. and was less than $2000 with stand, tax, and delivery.

You are right - it's a pain to move my 27 inch TV around by myself but it is something I can do - but the bigger sets get real heavy real fast. I was checking these out and even on the stands with wheels I would be uncomfortable moving these around as the stands themselves seem to be threatening to tumble.I've seen burned in pictures on my more than a couple projection model TVs at the shops and I've been told leaving a constant picture on the screen for 24/30 hours or so is all it takes. The new Mitsubishi rear projections are out and start at under 2 grand, I think my wife might want to reconsider as the screen is much larger than the more expensive tubed Sony and much more expensive Panasonic units.
