TFT screenburn?

Nixeh · 17 Feb 2006 at 11:51

I have a 15" tft which is roughly 3 or 4 years old and its on the all day (apart from when i sleep) and i have no signs what so ever of screenburn.

Not sure on the make but its a dell with a huge ass bezel.

Here's a pic of the screenburn present on my Xerox:

It's only recently occured and it is more visible on certain colours than others

Is mid grey one of those colours? On some colours, my screenburn was not visible at all, but on mid grey it really stood out.

I have this same problem with my Xerox, mostly with wow, the static ui with buttons on the bottom, and the bar at the top are evident.

Usually fixes itself overnight.

As anybody had their XA7-19i 8 replaced (screen image retention) to their satisfaction yet?

Its just that I have now be waiting for about 2 1/2 months and still nothing on the horizon. I spoke to "Peter" on the Zerox technical support line today and he said they had been promised some for next week but 'not to hold my breath' :rolleyes:

This Zerox service really does leave something to be desired, I'm afraid I wouldn't even consider another Xerox.

On my second replacment now and it is a brand new one and not a refurb like the previous model.This panel was manufactured in dec 05 and up to now is running perfect(fingers crossed).

It took 2 months for me to get this panel,so yes the waiting time is absurd.

i've been waiting about 3 months near enough now for a replacement. Total joke, i will never buy Xerox again either

I am never ever again going to buy a Xerox monitor. Their warranty replacement service is absolutely rubbish. I rung them up just now and they still have not got any monitors in for replacement. I was on their waiting list 2-3 months before and am still suffering with a screenburnt monitor. :mad:

The guy I spoke to said he'll pass the message onto his manager and that Xerox are just not shipping monitors to the center for replacement, yet 3 months ago, they said they'll be getting some in within a week.

What a joke. :mad:

HAppening on my Samsung 181T as well. Start bar along the bottom and firefox along the top!

Bout 3 or so years old.

How long is the warranty on them?

Did you manage to get the 8ms version in the end?

subzero · 20 Jun 2006 at 06:22

yes it is the 8ms model that i ended up with mate.

Greytop · 12 Jul 2006 at 16:08

Finally my replacement turned up today, was it work the wait? Well I didn't have any choice but at least this one has no dead pixels (last one had one) and the colours seem better (more vibrant). Also this is a new unit, manufactured in May 2006 (China as apposed to Taiwan) and it is a 8 ms panel

martinbeaver · 14 Jul 2006 at 15:09

mine too arrived today. If this one gives me any problems i will just give up and buy a different monitor, took 4 months to arrive!

subzero · 15 Jul 2006 at 11:27

dont want to worry you guys but my replacement is now showing signs,not as bad as the first 2,but its still visable.There is no way in this lifetime i am ever going to send this one back and get caught in the twightlight zone of the xerox returns,so its either put up or buy another for me.

thanks for the heads-up, it comes as no suprise tbh.
