| DashRendar:
Had a couple of questions I wanted to toss out there regarding monitor burn-in. The cab I picked up has a little burn-in (around the edges, where the static text is for most of the time). What exactly is burn-in? Let me rephrase that- I know in general what it is, but not why it is. What causes the images to stay on the screen- and most importantly, is there any way to clear burn-in off a screen? Finally, is this a CRT thing only, or do LCDs and Plasma screens also suffer from burn-in? :dunno |

I think burn-in is permanent... the phosphors inside the screen are altered forever, no way to undo. I seem to to remember early plasmas being susceptible to burn-in. |

| DashRendar:
Hmm, it seems like this is a problem that MUST have a solution... ...Beyond just tossing out the whole monitor and buying a new one. :banghead: Do we have any engineers in the BYOAC community that know if this has been looked into? |

You can't get rid of burn. You could keep the chassis if you get rid of the tube though. |
