Was just browsing, and realised the shadows of my desktop folders have sort of burned onto the screen?

Yikes! That doesn't sound too good mate.

They're influenced by the colour behind them, but they're very noticeable.

Going to disconnect the power overnight and see how things go, but this doesn't look good.

Run a fast paced full screen movie on it for a few hours.

You reckon one of those jobbies that try to revive dead pixels would be similiarly effective?

If it flashes the whole screen different colours I would guess so.

They scare me a bit though as they really give the monitor a hard work out. (No doubt I am worrying too much here though)

I would try a movie first myself.

All my DVDs are at the missus' gaff :/

I shall have a long session of counter-strike and Guildwars. With a little luck that'll do it

Good luck!

You could always stream some content from WMP and run it fullscreen or something.

Will look blocky as heck but that doesn't matter.

Check my thread out for my problem with tft burn;

Unfortunately I had to get mine replaced in the end, although i've heard of people who have managed to get rid of the burn(Or image persistance as it should be called on TFT's) by using fast flashing images for hours, or simply switching their monitor off for a few days. Good luck, and hope you get it sorted.

Not many people know that CRT also burn.

When I worked in an electrical store the screensaver on the EPOS terminals had burnt into the CRT.

Well it seems persistence payed off

I ran the flashing colour jobby for a while, then left my monitor turned off. Played a few games afterwards, and hey presto
