I heard that tv games ruins your tv - is that true? Or was it only true in the old days?

Were you born yesterday? In 1989? :D

It doesn't ruin your TV. My folks just used to say that because I played too much.

No magnets... those ruin TV's..... but only for a bit :)

Burn in can happen, in older tubes and especially rear projection TV's, we have an enormous rear projector TV here with a nice little Kyknet chair notched in the top right corner of the screen 24/7 :D

So yea, not just games can cause burn-in, DSTV logos can too.

Funny i remember reading something about burn-in while playing metal gear solid 4, something about a burn-in warning for crt tubes and rear projectors, but not lcd's.

my Sega once broke my grandma's TV, when I left it on MK3 intro's for a few hours when bored..

it was an old TV, that got hot - so either it did bust it, or I was just unlucky....

You actually owned a console system of your own? :eek:
Judging from a previous thread, I thought you didn't venture much past the corridors of emulation. :p
