Hi Guys,
Maybe the dev people can steal an idea from TiVo land... which are
1. If the tivo is paused for x amount of time it blanks the screen.
2. If left in a menu for x amount of time it returns to livetv.
3. for MythMusic and other static stuff, maybe have it so either the
visualization goes full screen after x amount of time or the screen
blanks after x amount of time.
Screen burning is a issue on all types of monitors, regardless of age.
Yes that includes LCD, plasma and the good old CRT. I have LCD's at work
on KVM's that have been left on 'nt4' login screen, which is burnt in.
I have read the LCD will loose its burn in, but to do this is need equal
time off for time on! (and turning it off for 12 months anit a option)

Press "5" (or "6") in mythmusic will black the screen.

Subject: [mythtv-users] burn-in. Should I be worried?
Hello,
I have a "normal" NTSC TV. Medium quality and nothing fancy.
Should I be worried about burn-in?
Particularly, mythmusic scares me, as only the small visualization
window is actively updated, and I don't want to run the vis.
full screen as it burns too much CPU.
Pausing LiveTV concerns me too, and any of the MythTV menus
scare me, as they're completely static. :)
I started reading a MythTV screensaver thread that I found
via google, but I got frustrated after about 10 iterations of
people arguing for or against a screensaver without any
clear resolution.
So I guess the second part of this question is: Was there a
resolution? Is a screensaver widely accepted as a good thing,
or not? Is there any work being done to that end?
But ultimately, should I be careful (and tell my wife to be
careful) to avoid burn-in on this TV?
Thanks!
