you mean like, through a tv card? Or one of those built in tv tuner + monitor in one lcd? with the latter, i dont know, with the former, i found the pic to be very pixelated...
just don't watch CNN for a long period of time, or anything with a fixed banner or icon on the bottom or corner of the screen, cause burn-in is hell.
Gah, someone in a thread in gen hardware just got done telling me LCDs don't burn in... What's the real story?
If LCD's burned in, wouldn't you get a picture burned in all the time from your task bar being in the same place, not moving, etc? I'm calling shens on that...
Im going off of what ive seen from a friends LCD TV he bought from compusa. He had it hooked up to his xbox and suffered from wicked burn-in problems, ended up taking it back to the store for warranty service, but in the end had to replace it.
I've been reading up on them the past half hour and it seems all im finding online is that they don't suffer from burn in at all. So id like to know also.

LCD's do NOT have refresh rate. LCD's in fact save energy when the screen does not change rapidly.
Anyone who tells you LCD's have burn in are flat out wrong.
^^ About the refresh rate, its emulated for games and movies, otherwise it does not have a fixed one, it has a maximum number of frames it can refresh however, but it can go down to one.
LCD's are a painted picture. It Paints your desktop and keeps it there, when you move your cursor, it then only changes the pixels it needs to. the rest of the screen does not get changed.

I want to believe you, and I'm not saying you're wrong - but for everyone who says this, someone else will just as adamantly claim that LCDs DO suffer from burnin, and badly at that :\ It's like asking if ATI or Nvidia is better, can't get any semblance of a consensus on it. My 17" CRT is looking smaller & smaller (remember when we all had 14s & 15s, and only the lucky few had 17s?
) and I think I'll soon be upgrading. I've tried to consider LCDs as an option but no two people say the same thing about them.It will over time, i plugged my dads dell lcd into a linux box and I could see where misc non moving windows stuff was burnt slightly. It will happen, but remember its not like your going to need to move your taskbar, it will look the same
