Video games and older tv's

I have a Curtis Mathis 35" screen. Tv is more than 10 years old. My son would like to play video games,X-box and 360. Will these hurt my tv?

Thanks

Hey there,

Hey there,

it's unlikely, given the type of games that you'll be playing on the TV, that you'll experience any trouble with the TV.  Yes, you can experience burn in, in certain situations, but since most modern games have a lot of movement on screen, and less "static" screen elements, you shouldn't have too many problems.

Older games, such as the NES, Sega Master System, Atari, ColecoVision, and others, have lots of static screen elements that could cause burn in to your screen.

Take a look at this article for other tips on your question, and have fun!
