    As long as you don't have the brightness/contrast set too high you should be OK.

    It's my understanding that DLP televisons aren't really susceptible to image burn-in.

    According to DLP.com, "DLP® HDTV does not use materials, such as phosphors or tubes, that can retain burned-in images on your screen. Instead, DLP® HDTV uses millions of tiny, microscopic mirrors to reflect light digitally onto the screen, producing stunning pictures with no burn-in."

    I'd still avoid leaving static images on the screen for too long. Try to remember to turn it off when you aren't using it to conserve the life of the lamp inside. The lamps will burn out and will probably cost a couple hundred bucks to replace.

    Have fun with your Wii.

    I don't think so, I've been out of the loop with video games in general for quite a few years and the last thing I remember hearing about some years back was some of these new types of tv's were not good to play games on because they get the burn or damaged somehow.

    now

    who has some good game recommendations :!: :?:

    I'm playing Death Jr. lately, it as a multiplayer mode - so it's like a cute couple game..
    It caused me what I figured out is a Wii elbow, quite painfull actually.

    Zelda and Fit are mandatory.
    Mario Kart let you breed if you have kids.

    and don't stand too close to each other if you're playing with someone! Ouch.

    Games: Mario Bothers Galaxy is decent. My kids dig Wii Lego Batman. It's fun but not extremely challenging. Raving Rabids is a fun game for adults and kids. Yeah, I guess when you get down to it, it's all about the kids with the Wii in my house.

    Mario Kart is fun. Call of Duty: World at War is also fun.

    ''it's all in the hips.."

    golf pisses me off too, especially when you just need to putt the ball a foot far and all of a sudden the ball goes all across the green.
