I am looking at either getting a 34" tube widescreen with HDTV and all that or for same price and in some cases less, a 42" or around that size rear projection.

What I am wondering about the rear projection is, BURN IN, how do I avoid it, and what creates it.

I read about the picture getting every so slightly moved automatically by some TVs to avoid this, and then a cowworker said I have to be careful of aspect ratio, in that I need to be able to change it to avoid burn in.

I guess to, am I getting ripped off if I buy a 34" TV, cuz I really like the picture and the fact you can watch it from all angles and also not worry about burn in.

Thanks for the help
