Re: Need new TV - burn in question +

Posted by Don T on November 30, 2002 at 23:48:51:
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.
Thanks for the input
