Panasonic Direct View CRT TV and PS2


hi,

new here, had a quick question.. I just bought a new widescreen direct view crt and GTA San Andreas for PS2, how concerned should i be about screen burn? When i first got the game, i played it on the new tv for like 14 hrs. within 2 days. So far i dont see any screen burn.. but ive been reading on the net and its kinda got me worried.

TIA

If its a CRT, screen burn is unlikely. No screen burn with DLPs--really only an issue with plasmas and (?) LCD? Try the archives of the gaming forum over at http://www.avsforum.com.
I can tell you;I'm on webtv--this may be worse than a game device /not sure. I DO HAVE burnin marks on my Pioneer Elite,crt rptv from this site. The vertical marks are; at both left and right ends of the display.(top to bottom)-- This be,from the yellow to black transition. None across the top or bottom.---And,yes my set was calibrated. If the guns are being pushed; it will happen faster. I would say look at the borders; for this black/white, transition. (or similar) If you have such a transition--a couple of hours a day won't be to hard on the display. More than that---and over a long period---will cause these marks.---On a yellow or blue screen, the marks are brown.
i think that RP CRT are more suseptible than Direct View CRT, can anyone confirm this?
Manilabot1vic,

On your old CRT TV you dont have ay burn in marks from gaming right? i would assume it is logical to make the conclusion that since this is also a direct view CRT it will not be any more suseptible than the old one.

At least as far as i know.

Any of you TV guru's out there know if Direct view HDTV is more prone to burn in than direct view SDTV?
