I left my monitors on overnight the night before last and I had photoshop open and a black and white parental advisory image on screen. For 10 hours straight...

Needless to say I had a fierce burn in all day yesterday and I was starting to get a little paranoid, but before I went home I made a negative of the screen, set it as my background wallpaper, hid my icons and my start menu and when I returned to work today all is well. No burn in, no discoloration.



I almost wanted an excuse though :( (http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-DELL-3007WFP-HC-ULTRASHARP-30-LCD-3007WFP-3007FPW_W0QQitemZ170107965146QQihZ007QQcategoryZ86 706QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

Heh.

I'm just glad my half-assed attempt at fixing it worked.

Good thinking.

Hmmmm, my monitors are never turned off, should I be worried ?

I guess if I was going to have a problem it would have shown up months ago.

I never turn my monitor of ... whoops LOL

depends on monitor.

my plasma tv warns about burning. although it has widescreen and regular options, it suggests to use the ZOOM feature.
