LCD or CRT?

I simply didn't elaborate enough on what I said pertaining to Burn in. Since just about ALL TV Networks have some sort of Logo they plaster to one space on their signal, any Plasma is highly vulnerable to having the logo burnt in. What I said was not wrong, just vague. Burn in DOES happen from not turning the TV off, I just never stated anything else; Static Images. The newest Plasma technology is said to be FAR better at preventing it. I can vouch for my Sony having been ON for 5 months strait with my Vista Start bar at the bottom, and it has NOT shown any residual signs of a burn in. If this is how the newer Plasmas are acting (as I have only repaired one, I don't own one) with Burn in, then I must say i am impressed. The last problem I can find with them is they just are not bright enough for my taste, of course this is entirely subjective.

Thanks for letting me know. Where did you find that info out? I searched around but couldn't ifnd that spec of info ANYWHERE...
 
I see, I had thought burn in was only caused by displaying an image.

Its impossible for an LCD to burn in, Which is why your screen wont show any signs of it. I had to correct myself because i initialy thought they did, but thinking about my PC monitor which is on 24/7 and dissabled screensaver and powersave withh no problems i had to do alittle research.

No problem, I found the info in a review. Its pretty safe to assume that any highend LCD screen would be under 8ms especially if it was made in the last 2 years.
 
Burn in for CRTs is a cured problem... its not a problem anymore. If it was, Flying Toasters would still be in business.

You mean "It is very unlikely that you will experience burn in on your new CRT or Plasma screen".

But really it doesnt matter, unless you plan to leave your monitor/tv on 24/7 displaying something like PC post screen, you probably wont ever experience burn in.
 
Thanx for correcting me on that one Jaxel. Forgive me, I'm no technical guru.

The question I've asked on my first post is more for personal preference.

Here's another question regarding to offline tournies:

What about if you were to host offline tournies? If online wouldn't be considered highly competitive cuz of latency then wouldn't it be best to let players play on CRT's despite the fact that these beasts take up space?
