Home Cinema TV Screen Size

[Imhotep]

This is so annoying as it gets burnt (called : screen burn) into your Plasma or LCD screen if you are on the same channel for a couple of hours.

 

Do the TV companies do this on purpose so you have to re-gass or buy another screen in a couple of years time.

 

Those are 2 major letdowns about Plasmas... Burn in on LCDs are less of an issue than Plasma, but both are still more prone to it than the RP sets (which in some cases can cost significantly less).

 

Now, about 're-gassing' or recharging a plasma dislplay, thats unfortunately a myth and Ive overheard that being used as a selling point over LCD and RP in stores. The only solution is to replace the unit.

^^Too bad you're one of the people that sees the "rainbow" on a DLP, as they are nice sets. I'd still take a look at the non-DLP Mitsubishi sets, as I still think their picture quality blows everyone else away. Of course, your eyes should be the final judge.

 

For those with an interest in HDTV and/or home theater, I highly recommend the AVS Forum. There's a topic there for pretty much every TV and other piece of gear in existence, and the place is packed with TV/Home Theater professionals. Very educational site for this topic.

Yeah, that site is excellent. It help me disolve into HDTV viewing.

I ended up with a 37in Sceptre 1080p LCD.
