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

It's a Samsung 913N.

have I fudged it?

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

Cheers Poopscoop

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
