[. . . ] To defend against burn-in (when static images get permanently stuck in the panel's phosphors), LG shifts the image up, down, left and right, imperceptively, a pixel at a time, so static images are never really static and don't get stuck. The set will also flash a negative image on the screen to counteract any burn-in that might have occurred.

Connection options include composite, S-video and component EGear Performance Review (two), plus PC RGB, two HDMI inputs and two IEEE 1394 jacks (for in order to display instant slide shows.
