So, the simple answer is...try it and pay attention to the screen. If you see some discoloration, turn off the TV for afew minutes and it will go away.

Sounds good, thanks. I assume I have nothing to worry about; blacks are whites are proper, reds are normal levels, and nothing is distorted from my viewing.
I panicked a bit last night because I noticed a few "white specs" were stuck on my screen while watching Battlestar Galactica on Blu Ray, but it turns out there are some imperfections on the shot (on both HD-DVD and Blu Ray) in a couple scenes. I was terrified I had a few dead pixels
