the tv's a big screen mitsubishi.

Answer 1

It would be fine running PlayStation 2 games, just be sure not to leave a still image on a screen if it is plasma or a projection, doing so can cause a faint but permanent image on the screen. That would be the only reason it would be "bad" to play video games on the TV.

Answer 2

Video games got there bad rap from the days of pac man, tank etc. Those games have a standing images that will result in pemanant burning of the picture tubes. Most commonly seen burned into TV now is station logo's, 4:3 side bars, CNN and other type ticker bars, home shopping network boxes etc. I you want to play a game with a standing image for an extended period I would recommend putting the tv in movie mode or manually turning down the brightness and contrast. Just like holding your hand over a candle. You move your hand it doesn't burn and if it is not so intense it takes longer to burn.

Answer 3

it is not the best sort of tv, but it will work.
