[Edited] 2-month Dell 20.1" LCD burn-in
-
I just noticed my 2-month old Dell 20.1" LCD flat panel shows noticeable burn-in from my VC6 window (always positioned at the same location). The burned in section is VC6's output window (which I've chosen to display yellow text on a brown background). Time to change my window colors... :sigh: [Edited 2-Nov-2005 7:24am ET] "Image persistence is when a "ghost" of an image remains on the screen even after the monitor has been turned off or a different image is being displayed.

Is it under warranty? I wonder if that would even be covered by warranty. That totally sucks. I have dual monitors, and I switch them every so often. Sorry to hear about that. :doh: ===================**

Well... If VC6 is the only application you ever use on that monitor... Just live with it, buy another one in a couple years if you really have to... What difference is it gonna make anyway... so long as you can still read whats displayed in the output window of course...

Dell computers are the best but their monitors suck. Escpecially the laptops so it doesn't surprise me that the LCD's might be bad as well. I've known 4 people including myself have problems with dell laptop monitors. E=mc2 -> BOOM

I might have some good news for you :) I had the same problem but with Visual Studio. It turned out that changing the refresh rate and/or pressing "auto settings" on the monitor fixed the problem. Try it and let me know what happens! Carl Mercier Geek entrepreneurs, visit my blog! [^]

Time to change brands. All good things pass, and Dell has gone to hell over the past 9 months or so. It started with outsourcing support to people who can't begin to understand or speak the language of their customers, and has deteriorated into product quality problems. My friends, coworkers, and students have been bringing me tales of woe about a total lack of usable support for months, but lately they've begun relating stories about horrible problems with the basic designs. Unfortunately, no clear leader has emerged yet to fill the gap... Dell's day as the market leader has passed, but to whom I don't know. Sic transit gloria...

I had no idea you could burn in an lcd monitor, that's truly bizzare from a technological point of view. Are you sure it's not retina burn-in? ;P

My LCD thing at work (the machine I'm using now) has gone a little "iffy" at the top of the screen - the colours are faded on a small portion of the screen. I managed to get a temporary burn-in on that part. Was wierd, it cleared itself after the display had been powered off overnight. But yeah, it can happen. I think it depends on the quality of the monitor. It's why I use an expensive CRT -- if you're gonna burn in an image, do it in style.

Here are some methods on how to reverse or remove afterimage or image burn-in[^] Curiously enough, this guy also has a Dell 20.1" LCD. :) I don't see dead pixels anymore... Yes, even I am blogging now!
