LCD Burn In
We are using a LCD's more and more. They have promise of not burning in the screens even though they monitor never changing displays. Images seem to get etched into them sooner than it did for our old glass screens.
First of all the LCD's don't really get burnt like the old CRT phosphors. The Liquid Crystal structure sort of gets tired. Lifehacker suggests:
- Create an all-white screen in a graphics application such as AppleWorks or Photoshop, and save it as a JPEG file.
- Use this as the image displayed by the screen saver.
- Turn the display brightness down (but not off) to preserve backlight bulb life.
They recommend leaving it like this for as long as the screen was left on. This might not make sense when we are talking about screens that have been on display for months. Leaving it on for several hours or over night can work also.
