I've learned here that displaying a white image on a screen for many hours can probably fix burn-in issues with projection TV's.  Since I had a new shadow turn up on my 53" projection HDTV, I figured I'd get off my arse and build a DVD that'll display a white image.

Figured I'd share.

Inside are the video_ts directories for a 4x3 and a 16x9 version as well as a Nero image of the 4x3 version.  All are in NTSC format.  If PAL users ask nicely enough, I'll see about putting together a PAL version if you can't use this one.

It's actually a photo DVD album that displays a single white picture for one minute in a (hopefully) endless loop.

Now I'm off to bleach my TV.

ETA: Put the DVD in my xbox 360 and it's playing without issue.  Staying white!

Note with the xbox, disable the auto-shutdown feature.

Some good information.

We have a Tatung 46" Plasma TV and it actually has a feature built in called "White Screen" and it is used for just that.

I have not had any issues yet with it ... but nice to know it is there for me if I ever should.
