Xbox Risks On 32" Widescreen?

Meusa (Mostly Harmless) posted this on Tuesday, 13th July 2004, 20:31

I am considering purchasing a Panasonic 32" widescreen but I am concerned about the using an Xbox console on the television, as I hear there are risks invloved with certain televisions.

Can anyone explain this issue to me in more detail?

Thanks

I think its something to do with the bright non moving images on the HUD on games that can cause an inprint on the screen isnt it?

I knew about the perils of Console+RPTV......I really don`t think you have to worry buddy.

Only applies to Plasma and Rear Projection tellys.

In a lesser amount, to TFT/LCD telly`s, but unless you intend to put your XBox on pause, then go on holiday for a week leaving the TV switched on meantime <grin> then go buy yer Panny ;)
