Burn-In
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
HaRuMaN:
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.
