How To Avoid Screen Burn With Your New TV

What is "screen burn" and how can I avoid it?

Screen burn is a condition where a still image gets etched permanently into your TV. It only occurs with plasma TVs. It also used to occur with CRT TVs, the old fashioned kind of TVs. The best way to avoid it is not to leave a still image on your screen for any longer than two to three hours. We don't recommend using plasma TVs as a computer monitor, because it's pretty typical that you get up, walk away from your computer screen, and if you forget, you can actually burn that page onto your TV screen forever.
