What the heck does the trend of featuring less HUD's on-screen have to do with them allegedly burning permanently into the screen inner coating? I've never heard nor read anything to that effect. In fact I for one kept pointing it out to fellow gamers in arcades seeing that large-screens suffer from permanent damage but only because only the same game is ever projected through those. As for consumers not smart enough to realise pausing the game for prolonged hours may actually damage their televisions I believe they're in the minority and hardly influencial with game makers anywhere.
- I think you'll find those are two seperate sections... arcade cabinets rarely screenburn, due to demo mode. HUDs, when left on the screen in-game for a long length of time with no variation (ie. a health bar's outline) will eventually cause screenburn. This is why it's listed under "Miscellaneous".

Actually I edited it right after I posted the above. Sorry new to Wikipedia - PhakeDC.
