How big is your TV?

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.

Then you do realize the part that burns in is the same exact thing that burns-in on an LCD TVs, right? (same exact material)

This quote is talking about OLEDs, but it is the same across both.

Screen burn-in
Unlike displays with a common light source, the brightness of each OLED pixel fades depending on the content displayed. The varied lifespan of the organic dyes can cause a discrepancy between red, green, and blue intensity. This leads to image persistence, also known as burn-in

Basically, it amounts to a sort of stain on the display material that alters the color displayed.

You are also aware that lower power consumption of newer TVs is what helps lower the chances of a burn-in affect in both LCD and LED (and Plasma for that matter!) So, while I don't know if you actually let your TV sit for 12+ hours with a static image; if your TV is newer, it will be more resistant to burn-in due to lower power consumption.

If you think your LED TV is burn-in proof, you're a fool.

The one I'm getting with income tax after the new year is going to be a 42-47" Vizio, HD LED 1080i, 120hz TV.

It's going to be sweet!

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.

OK, maybe I'm missing something here, but Plasma is the one that offers the deepest blacks. LCD is the brighter lively colors. Did you just get that backwards?

If not, kinda throws out the whole "I'm going to tell you one more time" bit....as maybe your not the expert you claim to be? In regards to burn-in, yes it happens still, but it's not permanent damage. It clears up after time. Permanent is pretty rare these days. Plasma's even come with an application built in, that you run and it clears up the "burn-in" or better known as screen retention.

Just in case you want to check up on it in regards to the colors and black levels:

[theogt]

Been there, done that.

No burn-in. Whatsoever.



...and mine is 5 years old.

I also have an 8 year old LCD. No burn in. I'm not sure why anyone would ever have a static screen up for very long. Virtually everything I hook up to my TV has built in screen savers.

Next season I will get a 70 or 80 in one, I've had my 60 in for over 4 years now...

Yes Plasma TVs have great blacks too.

I used to watch on a 100" HD projector upstairs, but a few years back I bought a 50" plasma and I simply haven't watched a game up there since. The plasma is so nice, and so detailed, I forgot about the projector.

We are trying to sell our house and buy another, when we do, the first thing we buy is the new 80" LED to replace the projector. I will probably never leave that theater room.

Me, either. Our tv got burned up by a lightning strike almost three years ago and we have never bothered to replace it. We can afford one but neither my wife nor I particularly want one but I can see as how they might be nice.

I watch the games online in streaming video, it's a little choppy at times and sometimes I think I might buy a new tv just to watch the games on but both my wife and I realize that if we had a tv or two we would probably wind up wasting a bunch of time watching them and never get anything meaningful accomplished.

The internet has become my time-waster.

 

[jubal]

Sony 55"with surround sound for the games,Sony 32" in small entertainment room for PS3, play anything console for music,computer,printer fax scan or copy. I stay with 32" because I won't stay hooked-up for 5 min. worth of commercials and flip channels,get on the CB Zone,or PS3,and my wife wouldn't change channels for anything.

42" Samsung. Just bought it a few months ago. I waited for the price of them to drop before I did away with my tube TV. Now, I'm seeing even better prices on them! I should have waited a little longer!

55" Samsung LED. Got it on sale at Costco.
