Indeed.

A nice warning in the manuals to welcome you following your expensive
new purchase.

Continued use of "nether the less" raised a smile, but the real beauty
was in the letter dated 18th Feb 2002 to Mr Rampton from Martyn Culling,
which clearly states that "In any event, the BBC.. ..*is* liable for
any 'burn in' damages." Oops!

Now is that a transcription error? Or did the letter really say that?

So how long is it safe to leave a static image on a plasma before
'burn in' occurs?

The disclaimers from Toshiba & Panasonic posted on that site refer to 'extended
periods of time'. Of course these are weasel words as they don't define how long
is an 'extended period of time'. Is it 1 hour? 2 hours? 4 hours? 12 hours?

There only saving grace is size without excessive bulk, but me, I've

aesthetics, so an RPTV, at half the price of plasmas and LCDs, is still
the best bet if you want a screen size beyond what a CRT will give you.

Depends on the contrast of the static image, but there are examples
where it has occurred in a little as 10 hours.

I assure you the letter supplied to us really said that.

The letter was straight cut-and-pasted in to our document and we don't
screw with quotes!

Although it would appear that the BBC have made a "Freudian Slip" and
admitted to liability, we know they want to riggle out of responsibility
and accountability for *anything* that they broadcast.

His typo was not a point worth jumping on!

the latest generation of DLP based RPTV give plasma a very good run for
their money.
And given you can pick up 46-50" HD models for just £1600-£1800 that is a
VERY good run.
