video games on large projection tv

[herculesCA]

many have told me that playing video games on a big screen projection tv is a bad thing to do.....can anyone explain why? or is this just some bs.

Because it'll cause you to start believing you are in the game!

Naw, I've never heard of this and can't see any reason this would be a bad thing to do.

i haven't heard that question in a while. my nes system came with a warning about projection tvs. it has to do with the image getting burned on the screen. i don't know if its still possible (haven't really played with anything newer than ps1 when it first came out) but a lot of old games would have the same screen over and over, especialy the demo before your press start. i know a lot of old arcade games are worthless cuz you can't see the game behind the burned-in image of the demo.
