Rear Projection TV Burn In From DVD Films

A number of the DVD films I watch on my 16:9 rear projection set are
processed in the anamorphic 2.35:1 widescreen format which means they
have narrow black bands at the top and bottom of the screen when
viewed at their best. My question: Is there a danger of the black
bands "burning in" and doing permanent damage to my set? I have seen
a lot of postings about game playing, but none about this particular
issue. Thanks very much for your assistance.

Yes if your set is a CRT based rear projection then it is definitely a
concern. That's why I recommened the Sony Grand Wega LCD to people, over
CRT RPTVs and plasmas. What you can do to minimize burn in is to properly
calibrate your set using Video Essentials DVD or Avia, or hire an ISF
professional.

Rear Projection LCD or Plasma? On the hunt for a new TV and due to budget I'm trying to keep the price down while still keeping the screen size up. I pretty much decided on the Sony SXRD 50" Rear Projection LCD. I'm getting a pretty decent deal on it but for a few hundred more I can ge

Panasonic LCD rear projection tv Does anybody outthere have experience with these sets. I am seriously thinking of buying the 45" model. However, I just saw that Best Buy is advertising a 50" model and I didn't even know that Panasonic made one. I checked their web site and couldn't f

Also LCD TVs can burn in Despite the myth that only Plasma panels suffer from screen burn in, LCD panels also can burn in. Also LCD TVs can burn in Pictured is a 22" Japanese model Sharp LCD HDTV used for a computer software ad. The retained images appear at the top-right as Japa

(Not another) Burn-in question ACTUALLY, I HAVE FOUR QUESTIONS. THANKS IN ADVANCE. I recently purchased a 34" 16:9 HDTV and I'm well aware that watching 4:3 programming can lead to burn-in. But... QUESTION 1: When watching a 2.35 widescreen DVD, there are small bars on the top and b

Flare in DLP rear projector Bright areas of the screen have considerable flare on screen (not unlike the TV having cataracts). It's particularly noticeable when white letters are on a black background, but all images, HD or otherwise, look soft. I'm not overdriving the set and the
