Would you do it or not?
My girl has an Xbox hooked up to a LCD.
Works great.
New plasmas and LCDs aren't prone to burn in. My xbox has been hooked up to both with no issues at all.
Poll fail!
no bewbies option!
I use my PS3 with my plasma. Never had an issue, even after playing for six hours straight.
I've been playing xbox/ps2/ps3/wii for 6 years on my 42' 1st gen Panasonic plasma, zero burn-in so with the most current models I doubt its even a concern...
However I did notice a dead pixle, it sat right on the speedo in GT4 so it was hard NOT to notice it [laugh]

I've been playing videos from my comp on my Samsung A550. For a while I was leaving it on to use as speakers since I couldn't find my box that I had packed away my speakers in. I noticed a bit of shadowing when I was sitting within 4 feet of the TV but couldn't see it from the coutch which is closer to 6 feet away. I turned on the anti burn in features and it went away. No problems since but I've also stopped leaving it on a stationary image for long periods of time. No problems playing GTA or RE5 all day with the HUD in the same spot.
serious?
what else would you use?? ;D
;D
A 79" tube TV? [laugh]
I've got a 2nd gen plasma from circa 2003 (GE Capital bought it for me on a warranty claim) and so far no burn-in. Even with DirecTV and the PS3 screen savers running on it inadvertently for hours.
Go for it.
I have my XBOX connected to a 50" Panasonic plasma and it's been fine. Burn in is actually pretty rare, but you can get some ghost images on a newer plasma. When I first got it, I noticed that stationary things on the screen like speedometers, HUD, etc would leave a ghost image. In the first week, it was bad enough that I left it on an unused channel with the "snow" effect to get rid of the ghost, which worked fine.
Now that the TV is a couple years old though, there's not been any problem at all. I rarely play longer than an hour at a time, but in that time I d not see any evidence of ghosting, let alone burn-in.
My friend has a 46" Samsung LCD he got about 6 months ago. A few pixels burned out in the upper right corner from a grenade explosion playing COD WAW on the 360. Samsung came and fixed it under warranty. They said it was very rare what happened in his case.

Yeah I told her. I was trying to be a nice guy and help someone who had a linux question. Since I married the linux overlord it just seemed right. :-\
So back to the tv thing. . .
I really want to buy local, and we were at a place here in town that sells tv's and misc appliances. Got some good info, and decided we liked the 60" LG.
I went back to talk to them about coming in with some of our own DVD's to watch under different lighting conditions to help us make a decision.
The guy looked at me like I was on crack.
"why would you want to do that?" he askes me.
I am in shock. Turns out this is the first time in 18 years he's been asked about this.
Not only that, but he tells me I have to bring my *own* DVD player!! They won't shut off lights during store hours and no way in hell will anyone stay late.
F those guys.
I was in complete disbelief.
So yesterday I stop at a home/car audio store that's been around a long time and I know the owner and a guy that does installs there.
Much better :) We'll buy from them for sure. They thought the other place was nuts like I did. I got great info from them.
They didn't have any plasmas as LCD is they huge seller so that's what they stock. They are going to bring in our latest front runner, a Samsung PN58A550 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889102182) so we can check it out.
While I was there I watched parts of Iron man on blueray on an LED/LCD tv and I was absolutely blown away. Even a regular DVD in the blueray player on that tv was killer (Gladiator)
Turns out it makes a huge difference in color accuracy when you get the tv calibrated.
We have an appointment to go back next saturday and compare LCD/LED-LCD and plasma and make a final decision.
Blueray FTW!!!
Getting one of those too ;)

I tried to absorb a ton of info that day so I can only give you sketchy details at this point. . .
My understanding was that somewhere on the net there was a code for each of these tv's (or brands) that you could enter and it would change all the settings for the better.
That being said, google turned up nothing.
I will ask about this again. . .
