I hope this is the right area to post this...
Quick question:
I have been looking at getting a HDTV, probably 57" widescreen, in the next couple of months. However, someone told me something that made me think twice. Please tell me if this is true or not.
A friend purchased a Mitsubishi 57" HDTV from a local dealer. He was told by the dealer that watching regular, non-hdtv programming on the set in the regular mode (sorry if these arent the right terms), meaning having the black bars on the left/right sides of the screens (instead of the top like in widescreen mode) , should be done no more than 15% of the time. The dealer said that any more than 15% would "burn" the black bars into the tv.
Is there any truth to this? I usually watch movies much more than tv (probably 70-30), but that would still make me think twice is that is going to happen.
Thanks in advance,
Nate
