Posted April 7, 200718 yr And I don't mean on Ventrilo! I never actually thought that this would ever happen, but it did overnight. I had some music playing while I went to sleep and apparently the screensaver never came up, so my monitor stayed on the image of my desktop all night. And now I have a slight ghost image of some curved lines on the top right of my screen. They are pretty faint and not really annoying, but they are definately there. It is kind of neat. But I didn't know that an image could be ghosted onto the monitor overnight like this. So for anyone with a desktop that has vivid colors, make sure that screensaver comes up!
April 7, 200718 yr Author yeah well I didn't think it would stay on and didn't realize an image could be ghosted so quickly.
April 8, 200718 yr If you have an LCD monitor, I believe i read somewhere that they can "heal" themselves if you leave them off for a while.
April 8, 200718 yr Ghosting or what is also called image burn in. The LCDs actually do kinda heal themselves if u leave them off for a bit depending on how much damage was done. Its not common for LCDs to do that though. But next time turn your monitor off it'll save on ur electric bill.
