Panasonic Direct View CRT TV and PS2

aaron,

thanks for the feeback, on the ps2 i have the ratio set to 16:9 and the game takes up the full screen pretty much.. i dont see the vertical horizontal black bars like when watching nbc hd for ex.

You should be OK then.

With games, its not just the aspect ratio... I know my XBox going into my plasma will output 16:9 without stretching... A lot of new games have the ability to do 16:9 that way (as well as output 1080i or 720p). The other screen burn issue is the material in games that stays in the same place all the time (i.e., health meter in Halo). That said, I've played myself through Halo, Halo2, KoToR, KoTor2 and others and don't have any screen burn problems.
