Question Disabling visualization - Effect on TV?

Hi,
Just a simple question...

If i use videoframe/disable_visualization=true to disable the music visualization so I just get a black screen will this cause screen burn?

I am guessing that to display black on a TV it is a lack of colour so following that I am thinking it wont cause burn (or at least degrade the picture quality). The reason I am asking is that a constant black image on Plasma or LCD can damage them so I just want to make sure that the same doesn't (or potentially does) apply to CRT's.

Many thanks,
mobby
