TV's, but I've heard that regular tube tv's are not as prone, if really at all, to the burn-in problem. I've also heard that gray bars nullify that effect. But then again, you're stuck with annoying gray bars. Asking the manufacturer is probably the best answer. With my Loewe, when I'm watching cable, in the cinema mode the image takes up all of the screen, cropping a bit of the image off the top and bottom, and leaving it undistorted. Going into panorama and 4:3 leaves smaller and then bigger borders on the left and right, but I only use this occassionally whilst watching TV that has info on the cinema's cropped areas. These viewing modes are great for a widescreen, check out Mitsubishi also, I was impressed with their image (but I don't know about their viewing modes). Good luck!
