LCD displays don't burn in images claim is all bunk, I have learned!

[BillW50]

Before someone posts that you don't need screen savers for CRT and LCD
monitors. Well let me tell you something. I never ever heard of any
image burn in for either (CRTs used too like 30 years ago). But I had
the freeware Speaking Clock v2.5 installed for a week. And the dark
digital digits left an image on my LCD screen. Just unbelievable! I
tried to take a digital picture of it with my camera, but my camera
can't capture it correctly. This is the best shot I could get. See the
darker blue in the middle (part of Speaking Clocks display and looks
like a mirrored letter "F"). And you can see two of the three digits on
the right. Yes this is a LCD ProView monitor.

My LCD TV manual had warning's about burn-in.

Really? Everything I ever read said CRT don't suffer from burn in. Even
Consumer Reports just claimed the same just recently. Who is the
manufacture of your monitor my I ask? Interesting that someone knows the
real truth.

said CRT = said LCD, sorry for the typo

It's true as you found out. My sony TV Warns that It's not a covered Item.
I've seen lcd screens with the DVD Logo burned in them on display at a
TV Store I go to.

It is what they would *like* you to believe. Although the technology has
gotten better, it is *still* susceptible to burn in. It is inherent in the
technology, and there will never be an LCD panel (or a plasma panel) that
will be burn-in free.

LCD's don't burn in. Period.

CRT's do burn in as the phosphour ages, brighter pixels aging it faster.

Plasma's DO burn in... no matter what the manufacturers tell you. They're
worse than CRT's.

*ANY* pixel/phosphor based technology will burn in. The colored dyes in the
LCD degrade and *burn-in*. Get over it.

worse than CRT's.

Give it up, you are out of your ability to reason and have shown
yourself as an un-educated one.

Yes, always good to run away from facts and pretend you are right.

Big sigh usually comes from those who say *PLONK* but are too
ignorant to do actual research.

Hrm... no reasonable response so you resort to namecalling. Very mature.

Two "could maybe sorta be" statements. Has anyone actually SEEN an LCD with
burnin? Where are the photo's?

This clearly says that LCD don't suffer burnin.

Bahaha... Dyes? There is no phosphor in LCD. There is no dye in phosphor.
There is nothing to "burn" in.

You can't get rid of Plasma burn in. You can old burn the negative image in
so the burn in is even - meaning a generally darker/washed out picture
overall.

I am the one that has a digital clock image stuck on my LCD screen. You
can see a mirrored "F" and the first two digits from this photo. I only
had it up for a week.

The digital camera doesn't show it well. But I can clearly see the
digital digits as 399. Here is the Print Screen of the digital clock on
the desktop.

And here is a snap shot of most of the screen from further away.
