Has anyone ever noticed while watching dvd's that when the screen goes black to change scenes in the movie that there is like a negative effect on the screen,the pic from the last scene is burned into the darker color.Maybe I'm nit picking but I never noticed it till I started playing blue ray again.

If it's an afterimage, it's caused by unevenly sensitized photoreceptors in the eye reacting diferentially to the black screen. If it's a display artifact, it signifies image retention (a slow refresh rate) within the TV's optical system. I vote for the former.

Thanks edtyct,I hear people talk about getting some kind of burn in on their screens and didn't know if that was only exclusive to certain sets.

My pleasure. It's not burn-in, which is exclusive to certain CRTs and certain plasmas.

All crts and ALL plasmas are subject to burn in, its the nature of the beast.
