Actually, burn-in on screens is most often caused by a health bar or a some other static element usually in the corners or at the bottom. From what I know, all monitor types are susceptible to it. It is the phosphors or pixels that lose color or get "stuck" in that one color. From what I have read, DLP is the least likely to have issues with burn-in. Any good quality manufacturer has reduced the chances as much as possible for burn-in to happen. It is just the thing that register bisquits like to tell people as they walk out the door with their new purchase. I am sure your new Wega will be fine for many years of PS2 play, but if you were really worried, take it back and get the Samsung DLP rear-projection 50".
