You do seem to know alot about these things, but I am a little supprised by your statement above. You actually are MORE at risk of burning in a screen if you have a "tube" type television, because of the gun used to send the picture to the face of the tube, and the material the tube screens are made of. The LCD types screens and projectors are the LEAST risk of burning, as well as the DLP. Plasmas are closer to the low risk side, but can be burned, however it would take a VERY long time of a stand alone image to cause the burn, and from what a friend of mine in the tv business has said, you can usually remove the "burn" if you turned off the plasma for about 24 hours.
