Do LCD's get the Burn in Effect like CRT's ?

[isekii]

Do they ?

I have a screensaver going but it's slowing down my system after I return from the SS.

I made a thread about this a while ago, and people said yeah, lemme dig the link up.

 

[PowerMacG5]

Hmm, can't find it under the archives. Someone posted a link about it to, too bad. Sorry.

 

[isekii]

why do LCD's get burn in effect ?

isn't it liquid behind it ?

 

[PowerMacG5]

I have no idea, I am just telling you what I was told.

Turn them off so you don't waste bulb life.

 

[Sukhoi]

Yes, some do. A guy down the hall has "The Matrix" burned into his screen. It can faintly be seen when the LCD is off.

Mine has a 3 year warranty so i'm not worried about burning it out.
Just don't want to have the burn in effect.

I dont think it's too good if I turn it on and off constantly, so I much rather leave it on.

I constantly turn my LCD on and off and have never had a problem. I set the Windows Power mangement to Always On for the monitor, and just power it on and off when I need it. Telling the monitor to go to standby is nearly the same as turning it off and on. When coming out of standby the monitor's components still get the surge when the bulb comes back on.

Instead of a screensaver, set it to turn off the monitor. Don't set it to blank screen because the light will still be on, but the pixels will be blacked out.

One of the saddest days of my life was when one of my classes was using a plasma display here and I saw that the gray bars had been burned into the sides from playing too much 3:4 material. Instead of destroying the display, they could have just given it to me. Granted it was in the liberal arts building.

Do you plan to use it for more then 3 years? Anyway, I know most companies dont do anything if you have couple of dead pixels. I always turn mine off when I'm not using it to save 'bulb life'. Monitor is the last thing I upgrade in a system, so I try to use it as long as I can.

I honestly don't know the wear and tear for the LCD bulb on/off cycle vs. running constantly. It might be worth checking (e.g. does one power cycle cost 20 minutes of bulb wear? or 5 hours?)

modern CRTS don't suffer from burn in.

i set all my monitors to power off after X minutes.

 

[Amorphus]

can't you "Wash out" the burnt-in image by displaying a flat grey image for an extended period of time?

Not true. The computers in the labs at my school show their login screen 24/7 (never changes, screen never turns off) and it is burned in all the monitors. I'm pretty sure they're all less than 2 years old.

Wow sad. What a brilliant IT manager you have there.

lol. how many consumers do that? you picked an extreme case.

im talking about the old days of leaving your computer on (without an image changing on screen) and having burn-in.
