Channel logos and screen burn
My parents got a projection TV and within months, the FOX News logo was
burned into their screen. They keep the set on several hours a day, but I
was under the impression that it would take years for screen burn-in to
occur on modern TVs, not months. what gives?

So this is a little off topic but after getting my newly acquired PTV up
and
running I noticed there's a faint logo burned into the upper right corner
of
the screen. I haven't watched TV much in a long time but flipping through
channels I was shocked at how many of them display a static logo, this
must
cause a lot of damage with all the CRT projectors and plasma displays out
there now. Is there any movement to get the FCC or other relevant
organization to regulate this ridiculousness? Even if they'd move the
logos
around periodically it would be sufficient. Is there anything an ordinary
person can do to avoid this? I'm worried that someone will leave this
thing
on a channel with a logo and burn it in further.
