This is a 27" (29" Japanese size), yes. I can probably justify meeting somewhere in the middle by going to Cedar Point.
I've already left for the weekend I think, but I'll try to get a picture of the burn next weekend or ASAP. It's not as bad as what you see on many classics, but it is there. The monitor is obviously only a few years old simply due to the age of the model, but it was run with the contrast set way too high (blooming badly), which causes quicker than usual burn. Picture is still very good, and it's still plenty bright.
