Panasonic Direct View CRT TV and PS2

hi,

new here, had a quick question.. I just bought a new widescreen direct view crt and GTA San Andreas for PS2, how concerned should i be about screen burn? When i first got the game, i played it on the new tv for like 14 hrs. within 2 days. So far i dont see any screen burn.. but ive been reading on the net and its kinda got me worried.

TIA

If its a CRT, screen burn is unlikely. No screen burn with DLPs--really only an issue with plasmas and (?) LCD? Try the archives of the gaming forum over at http://www.avsforum.com.

With games, its not just the aspect ratio... I know my XBox going into my plasma will output 16:9 without stretching... A lot of new games have the ability to do 16:9 that way (as well as output 1080i or 720p). The other screen burn issue is the material in games that stays in the same place all the time (i.e., health meter in Halo). That said, I've played myself through Halo, Halo2, KoToR, KoTor2 and others and don't have any screen burn problems.
