PS2 and Projection TV

[ggyy]

I run a PS2 system on my 53" Sony rear Projection TV. But I've read up on some of the manuals from games which states that running PS2 games on projection TV is harmful for the TV itself. Could someone explain to me why it is?? THx for any comment!

if you play a single game too long, the HUD of whatever on screen display of that game will eventually "burn" into the tv.

Damn it doesn't sound too good!!

If it burns onto the TV screen then it should mean that I have a still image on the screen for too long and causing the burn. But as I recall games that I play does not have still images all the time. Eg MGS2, DMC, ICO. Correct me if I'm wrong! Thx again!!

Health? Radar? Score? Icons on menu bar?
Anything like this that is on screen constantly will do this.

I've seen models in ads supposedly going up to 1000-1100 horizontal lines, but it may be only theorical.

AFAIK, the highest HDTV resolution is 1080 lines interlaced called 1080i. The highest non-interlaced resolution is 720 lines called 720p for progressive scan.

I understand that! But doesn't that mean all TVs(monitors) should be aware of it?
If that's the case, why are PS2 game manuals specificly asking projection TV owners to check TV manual before using it for PS2?

I guess your best bet is to avoid games with static images or maybe just turn off the t.v once in a while.
