        I'm a little fuzzy with the whole 'good / bad' thing. Define bad? ;P "If the world should blow itself up, the last audible voice would be that of an expert saying it can't be done." - Peter Ustinov

                        Is this a genuine concern? I've heard it too but I don't see it in the stores that have 360s on display with plasma screens. Just wondering myself before I make a mistake on a TV I'll have to replace in a month;P ------------------------------------- Do not do what has already been done.

                                          Contrary to popular opinion, they do in fact still burn in. In particular if you watch a lot of non HD stuff on an HD screen you get a burn in rectangle in the center. You only notice it really when you use an all white screen saver but it's still annoying that it happens. Some networks use gray bars on the sides instead of all black when they broadcast a non hd program on an hd chanell which is a start but most don't and there is still a ton of stuff that is non hd at all unfortunately.
