LCD Monitors?

[logan2000]

Do LCD monitors go bad if left on continuously? I have a nice no-dead-pixel monitor right now and was wondering if eventually, i will get some. Thanks!

Not as far as i know.

Not that I have ever read, but I have heard that using a screensaver is always a good idea with LCDs to prevent any kind of burn-in..

Cool. Thanks! I'll use a screen saver for sure...

heh...can't tell really... you may or may not develop dead pixels overtime. what you should be more worried about is the backlight... those do fail overtime and it'll cost $$$ to replace even though its real cheap.

My understanding is that a pixel will NOT go dead. Dead pixels are from manufacturing.
