Back in November 2007, I purchased one of the DGM 24" monitors that had the VA panel. Up until till now it has worked flawlessley.
Recently however, I noticed that i was seeing a little image retention from my desktop icons. I figured that the icons have not moved in ages, so I turned them off, and over a period of a few evenings, the retention faded, though not completely. The monitor is only on during the evenings.
It now seems that its not just icon related. I opened a web window last night for my golf club. I probably had it open for about an hour whilst I read through some management minutes. Upon closing the window, the club logo and outline were still very visible on the screen. It stayed that way for about 20 mins before it faded completely. I dual boot, and can replicate this issue in XP & windows 7. I am assuming its not a GFX card issue as gaming still seems fine.
I have not really experienced this kind of retention before. Has my monitor had it?
