For those that DON'T autohide their dock: Has anyone ever experienced burn in?
 
Unless you have a CRT monitor, it shouldn't be a problem. At any rate, any static screen should be either turned off or changed from time to time anyway.
 
Just something I was curious about, because I have seen it one LCD/plasma tvs - the bug for news stations will burn in because it never moves and the screen is always on.
 
Yeah, it can happen, especially in stores where a TV is left continuously running on the same station all day. Most consumers don't have this problem though. CRT's though, they were horrible when it came to image persistence/burn in.
 
That's what I thought. It is now apparently obvious that I have too much time on my hands tonight. I should sleep.
 
It's weird because I complain all week about how little sleep I get, but I dont take it when I can get on Fri or Sat nights. I have the urge to sit here and listen to music while surfing for no reason.
 
I had that problem when I was in college. Now I have to get up at 5:50 in the morning 5 days a week so I'm ready to go to bed when 10:00 comes around. Fri and Sat nights are the only nights I can stay up till 11 or 12 and not suffer so much the next day
 
5:50!?!? That's sleeping in for me during the week, my alarm is always set for between 4 and 4:30
 
Than you have major issues my friend! I don't know how you can stay up so late. I think I ruined myself by doing too many all-nighters.

What do you do at 4:30 in the morning? I used to work at a bakery from 11:00 PM until 7:30 in the morning. Worst job of my life. I felt like I was in a constant state of never being awake or asleep.
 
Im in the military. So i have to get my daughters to daycare before going to work.

Get more sleep! 🙂

I don't think burn in should be an issue.
