The display will not burn in unless it has some bit of text or numbers up on it for a long time. As long as a visual is running that is fairly dynamic, you won't have a problem. You should turn the screen up! Its a cool screen, you should enjoy it! I have had my player for a year now and haven't had a problem with screen burn in at all. Maybe others can comment on this, but I think that dimming the screen and turning off visuals entirely is an unnecessary precaution.
