I did a quick search after my last post and found these…they both contradict each other!

Prevent Screen 'Burn-in'.

Remember this about CRTs? Well it still holds true for LCD screens. Failure to turn off or reduce the screen brightness can cause screen 'burn-in'. This is a permanent condition so be careful. If a fixed pattern is continuously displayed over a long period of time, certain LCD pixels can overheat resulting in image 'burn-in'.

Prevent screen burn in by:

--Turning off screen power when not in use.

--Changing the screen pattern at different intervals.

--Reducing the brightness level to darken screen.

The Life Of a Display

The life of each unit differs depending on how often it is used. The one factor that is most common on CRTs, showing the wear and tear of the unit, is screen burn. This is where the images that are on the screen in the same place all the time actually burn onto the phosphorous coating of the picture tube. Once screen burn has occurred, there is no way to remove it from the screen, On the other hand, LCD panels are made with liquid crystal, which constantly moves around the backlit screen to create the picture. Because of this process, an LCD unit will never experience screen burn. After extended use, the backlighting brightness on the LCD screen will decrease and a new lamp will need to be install. But replacing a lamp is less expensive than replacing a CRT tube that has screen burn.

LCDs do not suffer from any form of screen burn ... they have no phosphors which are what age in CRTs.

Is this going to be a changing page Graham?  If not what’s the story regarding LCD and “burn in” ?

 

Thanks

I don't think so, but as I have said before , I intend to have my wall
mounted ePODs showing a constantly refreshing web page on the intranet.
