Burn-In

Pages: << < (6/6)

Malenko:

already mentioned but, tinted glass/plexi is the most cost effective fix (unless you can get a tube for free to swap)

Ive seen some pretty ---fouled up beyond all recognition--- up displays look pretty good behind a piece of tinted glass.

MonMotha:

Yes, tinted glass/plexi is effective if the game has mostly dark screens.  Burn will still be evident on full white screens or when bright areas overlap the burned areas.  This often happens when a monitor is repurposed from one game to another.  Of course, suitably re-purposing a monitor can also solve this very problem :)

protokatie:

I was going to add (as well) the reverse burn in as a possible way to do it, but I got beaten to it.

One more idea that may be cool for an experiment: print out a transparency that has the pattern on it in reverse and stick it on top of the screen at exactly the right place. It would require a bit of testing and work, but it "could" work. Prolly better to just live with it or replace the tube tho.
