Title: Message
I would say that you're right...
 
...I've seen short term burn in on CRT tubes after as little as three hours use. I've seen semi-permanent tube damage in less than 8 hours.
 
Having said that if a projector is used carefully then there is no reason why not to use one for a PSX ... I *HAVE* used my NEC P6 with Gran Turismo 3 before.
 
The problem is that the temptation is there to wind up the brightness and that's when the problems start as the aging of the tubes increses exponentially as the brightness increases.
 
The solution in your case to stop said pubescent door slamming 14 year old completely arsing up your brothers CRT projector is to buy a cheap LCD projector on ebay for him to use ...
 
...and if that doesn't work then can I come round there and kick his arse for being a spoiled brat?

I’ve just had a miserable 14 year old slamming my front door because I suggested that using a PSX with a 12 month old Sony CRT projector probably wasn’t a good idea as there is a danger of burn-in.

 

Am I right, or being overly cautious?
