Interesting point, and since I'm always in the mood to buy a
new TV, this is something to reconsider. Anyway, what I do
now is treat it like a TV. I don't leave it on all the time.
Granted, this is a bit of an a****le statement, but the
reality is that my TV is kinda an electricity hog, so I turn
it off when I'm not using it. Also, if you always leave it in
TV playback mode, even if you leave it on for hours, you
don't run all that great a risk for burn in. The big scare is
if you switch to the menu and fall asleep. Anyway, based on
previous issues with TV burn in (I have an RP, and had a past
RP burn nice yellow bars on the side cause my roomate would
fall asleep watching TV in normal 4:3 mode), it's just a
matter of being judicious with the time you use it. Smart
outweighs any program options.
That said, what's the expected time for burn in to occur? Are
we talking minutes, hours, days, weeks? My RP started showing
the yellow lines about 500 hours into using it (or roughly a
year), but will this happen much faster with the plasma?
I don't think this is an a****le statement at all, if your not using it,
turn it off. Simple, no burnin, greener and cut down on your lecy bill as
well :)

I didn't want to come off sounding like "D'uh, don't be an idiot, turn
off your tv!", so I added the disclaimer. You're right, just turn off
the TV and save the juice.
