I am planning to buy a flat panel televsion on the near future. Maybe right after tax return...but the watermarks may cause burning which isnt a good thing.

Can you imagine watching porn on a 50inch?!!!!

Plasmas and LCD needs constant motion...otherwise there will be a ghosting effect on the screen. Meaning the image will be burned on to the screen.

I think plasmas and CRTs are more prone to image burn.

If you are worried about burn-in then I recommend going with an LCD display. Permanent burns on LCD screens are very rare. Even if you do manage to "burn" the display the damage is usually reversible. Regardless, I don't recommend displaying repetitive or consistent images for long periods of time.

Yes Plasmas and CRT's are prone to that. But plasmas are best if you want to go past 32" therefore LCD are good for 30" below.....any have 3K for me to buy a Plamas to test? lol

Watermarks suck. But, I wouldn't be worried about burn in because of DVD watermarks. Unless the only thing that you ever watched on your TV was DVD's from the same company, all with the same watermark, there is absolutely no way that a watermark will damage your TV.

Burn in is caused by constant display of the the same thing over a long period of time. You should not see burn in with normal use if the TV is set appropriately. When you get your TV, rent or buy a calibration disc, like Avia , Digital Video Essentials or Sound & Vision Home Theater Tune-Up.

These discs have the instructions and test patterns for you to set your TV up properly.

Note: Out of the box, TV's are always set with the contrast and brightness set too high. This is the primary reason for burn in.

Plasmas do have a burn in risk. but the image usually needs to be displayed for several hours straight.

CRTs have very low risk and LCDs have no risk of burn in.

As for waterwarks, I refuse to buy anything with a watermark. If the company uses them, I don't buy from that company--period.

no worries, not enough contrast, also the original image is there and always moving , it's just an overlay.

Now, a white image against a solid background + 10 hours and maybe...

Watermarks are always a bad idea. They suck hairy, smelly balls.
