White screen?
« on: August 30, 2009, 09:27:55 am »
Got a cabinet with a monitor that has some slight burn in.  I heard if you display a white screen for a long time, you can get rid of some burn. Is there any truth to that?

It would be a /very/ long time, and all you would do is burn it evenly.  Don't do it.
