Er, how on earth do you watch it up there, with your sofas facing each other?
My 42" is on it's stand, at the far end of the room, eye level and dead square to the 'main' sofa.

Are you sure? I am 99% sure LCD screens are simply not affected by burn-in. Having used LCD screens on computers for many, many years, with the perfect conditions for burn-in (on 12 hours a day, same logos in same places all the time, high contrast) I'd have thought if it were technically possible, I'd have seen it happen by now. But from the way LCD screens work I can't see how it would be possible.

It is a problem we had/have with some of the screens we use at work to display info in the same grid format. The grid is starting to show as ghosting on the screen when the picture is change. But this is not on the smaller monitors, but the larger ones. But ours run 24hrs a day 7 days a week!

There's other seats in the room not shown in the picture!
JumboBeef:
Oh, OK.
Just wondered why you mounted it so high, as your eyes are designed to work on the horizontal or looking slightly down, looking up for long periods causes eye strain.

It's because if he'd mounted it lower down, it would catch fire :D
