lcd burn-in

[rh71]

Whenever I play a game for an extended amount of time (2+ hours) it seems to leave a burn-in where an object was stationary for that long. Is this ALWAYS going to fade after time or can it damage the LCD the more it happens ? It's actually an LCDTV if that matters.

from what i understand it will fade and eventually dissapear with time

i dunno if it will get worse as time progresses though

whats always on the bottom or top of your screen for hours at a time? your bar right? well does that get burned in?

..I've never seen "burn in" on any of my LCD's (5 of em). Some of em are on 24 hours and the ones at work are on 24/7 and show no evidence of "burn in".

never the taskbar, but the things in the games (such as the WoW bar) does. Go figure.

Should something be adjusted... like the refresh rate in-game ?

its calle dimage retention...no need to worry about it. just blast display a white background for a while and it will go away

Same here... how do you get LCD burn? Are you sure it's not a DLP or something similar? I've never seen LCD burn before, but my plasma screens get it to a minor degree.

LCD burn in is possible, just very difficult.

Image retension is nothing to worry about. It goes away relatively quickly.

I'd like to hear how it's possible to get an lcd to burn in...

I had some on my old samsung LCD.. I always kept mirc window hanging around every time I left the computer with no screen saver on. It was strange cause it'd go away and then come back at random intervals, but my dad has that old screen and I have dell one.

8+ hours of autocad on 2 2005fpws, the toolbars burned into the monitors pretty well.

Burn in is not possible with LCD displays. The term burn in gets its roots from damage to the active area of a cathode ray tube phosphor surface where the electron beam is stationary with high acceleration potential. This would cause the phosphor to glow very brightly and produce enough heat to signficantly change its fluorescence characteristic. A fine stationary beam is not a normal picture scenario so severe pinpoint burns are rare.

With the advent of video games and broadcast branding, stationary images often nearly monochromatic with high indexes present a threat to conventional cathode ray and some plasma technologies. LCD is immune to this.

It is possible for the LCD to show a previous stationary pattern but this is not irreversible like phosphor burn in. -M

You can ask the guy who owns AVS Forums, he did it.

Basically, the LCD must be on near full brightness with a stationary high contrasting image for EXTENDED periods. It's extremely rare, since it takes a LONG even with this "worst cast senario" usage, but it does happen.

Those that say burn in is not possible on LCDs monitors are simply mistaken.

 

[mercanucaribe]

This should only happen with dark graphics right? --since black means all the pixels are on.

I have a penis burned onto my screen. It's pretty embarassing

Bro has gamed for 3-9hr periods in WoW and no burn in on any of my LCD's...

Any PICS of these burn-ins?

 

[cubby1223]

I've seen a Viewsonic LCD with a bad burn-in. No pics, though, as it's not mine. It has the outlines of one of the Wordperfect versions on the glass.

 

[igowerf]

I saw burn in on some old Viewsonics at one of my previous jobs. My Dell 1800FP is on all the time and there isn't any burn.

For example

Do a search on AT.
We just had this question less than a month ago.

Some of us were skeptical until we saw a picture of an LCD with the Win Logo burned into the lower left corner.

EDIT: Nevermind, screw3D just posted an excellent pic.

Ooo I see..
That doesn't look too noticeable but I could tell that would hella annoy me.
My friend had some burn in on his plasma from playing games a lot and leaving them on, I think

Edit: what monitor is that?

 

[Looney]

My 1800FP doesn't have burn-in... and the display is on 24/7 with azureus on the top left hand corner of the screen (and it stays there all the time)
