A worse annoyance is a screen saver. WHY? Why does anyone run a screen saver? FWIW, today's monitors DO NOT BURN IN. Screen savers are 100% worthless memory hogs that just clutter your system.
TFT LCDs can and _do_ burn in and it is not covered by warrantee. Our machines are supplied with LCD touch screens by ELO and would show latent images after 6-8 months. Our current recommendation is a small footprint saver such as marquee, with no power down of either disks or monitor.
YMMV
Jeff,
Quoted was "FWIW, today's monitors DO NOT BURN IN".
Keyword is *TODAYS*, computers years are like dog years. A 1 year old PC is actually like 7 dog years old. A 3 year old PC is like 21 dog years.
I have 3 19 inch Sony flat screens on my primary machine, and 2 19 inch Samsung monitors on my second desktop in my office and they "do not" burn in. These are the high end perfectly clear displays currently, and for the past 24 months, available. The same display is used on my laptop as well, zero burn in on any of the six monitors I work on every day. I also have a 26 inch HDTV capable display accessible via PC but I run Direct TV on that one mostly. When used as a monitor that one doesn't burn in either.
You may have a setting out of place or something or perhaps the monitors are a bit older and don't have the same technology.
There are great displays available today. The years I spent with eye strain are gone now.
Ghosting
Term used to describe a shadowing effect on any moving images on a screen. This type of issue can occur if you are using an older monitor, have a software setting enabled that causes this effect, or system resources are low. Ghosting is often mistaken for burn-in.
Michael: In your previous post you have said that flat panel LCDs are too expensive, and in this one you are talking about "Flat Screens". Stop acting like Cliff and read what I wrote. LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screens can and do suffer from a burn in like phenomena. It can be corrected, but the correction takes about the same time frame is it did to generate the original image persistence. The machine tools I build use LCD (Liquid Crystal Displays) Don't confuse Flat Screen with LCDs (Liquid Crystal Display). Again, my recommendation stands: for LCD displays use a small footprint Screen saver such as marquee or blank. The ideal would be to blank to bright white.
whatever...
