Will playing video games on your big screen/hdtv damage your tv???

i kno that on plasma's u shouldnt play games on them becuz the images will get burned into the screen...

^^^Plasmas are the only ones that you shouldn't play games on because the image will get burnt into the screen

a lot of tv's can burn images into them but it takes a long time and it has to be the same non moving image like if you look at computers that they have in some retail stores like sears best buy etc. where there monitor screens pretty much stay on the same inventory type screen forever there will be images burnt into the screen faintly the thing with plasmas though is it doesnt take as long to burn a image in as other types of screens and not only video games can do that things like channels that have there logo in the corner of the screen over a long period if you watch it enough those images can burn into the screens also for example my boy has a 50 inch plasma that we have played 5 hour time periods with games and no image has burnt into his screen.

As long as you don't have power bars or icons on the screen for hella long, you should be good. you can't really see burn ins that much anyway. I can barely see the TV Land icon burn in on my 60" Sony that I bought when the Titans went to the Super Bowl.

I heard this for hella long they always told my parents that it wasnt cool to play video games on a big screen I have a 60 inch HD philips projection and we put our 360 on it I dont see why it would be any different than watching a DVD or tv?
