Burn In from BTV ?

[cjob68]

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone else is running BTV on a rear projection CRT and if they have experienced burnin or if they are concerned with it at all ?

Thanks
Jason

I have been running mine for a year without a problem. I have a 16:9 screen and watch it with a 4:3 ratio (black bars on the side), I haven't had any problems.

Its unlikely you would get screen burn but if your really worried you can make sure you have BTV's built in screen saver active that dims the screen after a set amount of time.

I have a 51" RPTV and also worry about burn-in due to static displays on the screen for too long. While the screensaver feature in BTV does reduce the risk, there still is a possibility of burn-in -- it just takes longer.

What happens if you fall asleep during playback and wake up 8 hours later? It is called panic.

It would be trivial to have 2 stages of the screensaver. First is the dim screen and then it might entirely blank the screen or go to something similar to the "Windows XP" screensaver with some Snapstream logo moving around the display every few seconds.
