No Borris, but note the furry toys to keep Borris off the unit

very nice.

Is that a touch of burn in I can see top right though?

LOL

I noticed some image retention on mine the other day (I'm using a PVR that has some fixed-position overlays). Seems to have gone now though which hopefully demonstrates the point that even if you do get a bit of image retention if you clear it straight away (out-of-tune analogue channel will do that) it isn't a problem.

Retention is easy to sort and is a very different issue to burn in.

If you get burn in, you're pretty much screwed but you really really have to be going some to get proper burn in, as opposed to just a small retention issue that can be fixed as Mark illustrates above. LCDs suffer from retention almost as much as Plasma. If you have an LCD monitor leave it on a high contrast forum or something overnight (with no power saving screen offs) and when you look at it in the morning go to a 50% grey screen or something and gaze in awe at the magic ghost forum that you can see before you.

Sadly a lot of people confuse the two and that's why I think there is more of an issue made than there really is.
