Standard 65in Toshiba HDTV 1080i in the living room

I *think* I have a 46in Toshiba LCD in my bedroom. I don't know, I just wanted a bigger TV.

I'm about to move my old Phillips 27in to my office/spare bdrm to replace the 13in. It still shows pretty good.

Yes they do. Burn-in is a serous problem on today's TVs. As of now, only DLPs don't suffer from the issue. (though DLPs aren't paper thin)

LED's best quality is their deeper blacks. LCD, the thin TVs, DLP's is the great picture and the fact that they don't burn-in.

Plasma is the lively color, though LCD can match it if you pay the price.

I use a 55" Samsung LED, and it's beautiful. And in reference to the quoted post, LEDs don't have burn in issues. If it did, mine would be screwed, because I game a LOT on mine, and frequently it's games that have static UI elements.

Hell, if LED screens had a problem with burn in, I'd be staring at my WoW UI constantly on my PC LED monitor, even when I'm not playing. =P

50" Samsung plasma

I haven't heard of one burn-in issue with plasma in years. I've left mine on pause with my DVR for hours before....no burn-in whatsoever.

I'm digging these new LED's....might have to swap mine into the bedroom and get something bigger for the living room.

An LED TV is a LCD TV with a different lighting source.

LEDs are less susceptible to burn-in than normal LCDs, but they ARE susceptible.

Samsung FAQ on LED TVs and Burn-In.

This is the last time I'm going to say it. If nobody wants to believe me, fine. Turn your console on and leave it on a static scene overnight. Then you can see for yourself.

Been there, done that.

No burn-in. Whatsoever.

...and mine is 5 years old.

72" JVC.

Sad thing is, I want to upgrade.

:laugh2:

What in hell do you guys need TVs that large? My living room is 25 feet wide and I have a 46" TV. Yeah, I could see a slightly larger one since my pit group is towards the back wall, but I don't need a TV twice the size of my current one! :laugh2:

55" Samsung plasma.

I did a ton of research and this was and is the best I have seen.

I absolutely love it.

I've got a 46" LCD Samsung and I love it, my next TV will be a Samsung as well but I live in a new york city condo so 46" is plenty big for me, too much larger and it would dominate the living room.

I know exactly how LED tech works. Warnings against burn-in on LCD and LED screens in FAQS and what not are the epitome of a company protecting themselves against litigation. It's absolutely not a concern, and you saying it doesn't change that.

I have had 12+ hour stretches of my TV having the same static UI elements on it from video games, espnews, and anything else you can imagine plenty of times, and there's no burn in. It just doesn't happen unless you have the same image on for days and days at a time.
