RE: Plasma Burn-In

Yeah that is a nice quote but untrue as burn-in is still an issue and very easy to do. You won't realize it till it's there. I've watched some 4:3 as well and found ghosting after wards. Burn-in is very real I can assure you, I have a plasma with this issue to prove it and it is much less than 6 years old.

You normally see it when you change to a channel with lighter colors and yes it sticks out like a sore thumb.

I can leave my LCD on a fixed screen all day and all night(use it as a 52 inch Hi-def portrait). There is absolutely no burn in to speak off. Since I watch all movies from my HTPC hard drive library, I'm allowed endless display tweaking if I so choose. I can minimize blurring(not an issue with recorded material anyway) or black contrast levels.This isn't possible with a standard DVD player.

Off topic...but to be quite honest, I don't understand why anyone would own a standard DVD or Bluray player these days, especially one above $500.I know a lot of guys here haven't made the jump to PC based video, but once you do you'll never own a standalone player again! It won't be long, standalone players will be obsolete just as plasmas will.
