Apple Display Burning!!!

[applemax]

I've heard stories of static images being burned onto plasmas. But today I found a burnt image of the dock of my powermac on the display when it started up. Although it was faint, it is annoying. Any fixes? thanks

The PB does not have a plasma screen does it?!?? Thought it was LCD...

Apple doesn't make Plasma displays, only LCD. And LCDs don't suffer from burn in issues. At times you may see a faint bit of ghosting, but it goes away after a short period of time, it's certainly nothing permanent.

On LCDs it's called image persistence, not burn in (big difference ). I had the same problem on my 23" ACD, I use FCP all day, and when I close the app the window outlines were "burned in" to the screen. They didn't ever go away, so I sent it into Apple and they replaced the LCD panel and the logic board inside the case, ever since then it's worked perfect.

Apple has a fix for image persistence on their LCDs here:

Good luck.
