Could
be. The prices are dropping all the time. also depends where they get the
panels.
What
brand were they? Some unknown make ? Could be they use panels from a major
manufacturer that arent quite good enough to the top of range
displays.
Burn
In - It doesnt remove the problem. Burn in still occurs but the edges are
softened and it is spread over a slightly wider area. Just like when you
anti alias text
when
placing it on an image. You cant move it too much because people will
notice the
image moving. It helps but ANY image displayed in the same position
for
long enough will cause problems.
When
Colour TV started BBC2 was the only channel in colour. They used to show
"Trade
Test Films", short 20 minute films repeated through the day so that TV
dealers
had something to show the public to sell the sets. It also avoided the
danger of
Testcard F burning its image onto the tube face. CRT technology has come a
long
way since then and CRT's are much less likely to burn but it does still
happen.
Look in any video arcade.

Plasma and Holo-screens
No...that was the first question I
asked.
He said they were 5th or 6th generation - does that sound right?) and they
did
1024.
I asked him about burn-in too and he said they
had a bit of software that moves the display about a few pixels at a
time
that removed the problem?

I was at a shopfitting show at the NEC
yesterday. I was amazed by the number of companies selling AV gear
for shops. Plasma screens everywhere as usual - one stand was
offering new plasma sets "from" 3,495 + VAT. The guy on the stand
said they could go much lower than that if he got an order for 6 or
more.
There were also these "holo" screens. A
piece of clear glass with a special hologram etching that bends
light. You use a projector to fire an image at them and the pictures
look like they're hanging in mid air.
