No kidding, that's what I've been telling the tech guys here for years after I noticed the burn-ins were always right where the WinXP logo pops up.  Stupidest screen saver ever, yeah, it jumps around, but always to the same 8 locations.  Ever seen a Pac-Man monitor?  Silly MS.  :P  We do CG for film and commercials, so tech is more worried about the monitors losing calibration by being turned off, which I think is rubbish when talking about LCDs.  Most of the monitors here aren't calibrated properly anyway, so I've just been shutting mine off at night.  So far, no burn in on mine (and no loss of calibration), but the guys around me are looking pretty bad.  See below.

Funny how most of the people who remarked about the vectors not being *KILLER* are folks that I think *are* in the know regarding monitors ...  ::)

I know. I was a little surprised.

So kind of you to criticize the reading comprehension of the people who commented on your claim as well as mine. But really I don't think it's so much a comprehension problem as it is a failure to communicate effectively, followed by abandoning the thread for a surprisingly long time.

Possibly on the first, no on the latter. I was gone two days. Ooooooo. Anyways, don't take things personal.

gene -- for the love of all things holy, can you keep you keep it in your pants for a change and stop hijacking thread after thread to push your love of LCDs and your disdain for CRTs ?

If you keep whipping it out and being ridiculous, people are going to go back to stepping on it and, as I recall, you didn't like that much.

In the case of vector graphics, vector monitor (e.g. CRT) >>>> anything else, regardless of how many times you mention 120Hz refresh rates.

Hahahahahahah. However, though it may've been mere coincidence, the Shouter appeared right after your last words. ..........


I just use 'BLANK' for a screen saver....but that'd probly confuse people. They'd think it was off or something was wrong with it.

I had a friend once, his father gave him second hand, he flat out could not figure out why his computer would blue screen when he wasn't looking at it.  He dismantled it, swapped RAM and components, opened the case and pointed a fan at it.

Turns out his dad had a BSOD screen saver enabled.

isucamper your reply is dissapointing, I thought you were better then that.

If you don't think I have posted facts...cool by me.

So lets review, LCD does not refresh faster then the human eye, CRT Phosphers do not produce an after glow, CRT and Plasma's are not more prone to burn in , and of course I was the one that first mentioned LCD's and it was me that "hijacked" the thread.

Sorry, I guess I have posted nothing but lies, no facts at all...and it really hurts that I have been exposed for this.
