Hi Rob, Rather than reframe the problem, I'm going to try to address the question you asked but it would help to know a little more about the type of display you're working with.
If it's a CRT, it seems like the analog clock would result in less burn-in than the digital clock because the hands would be constantly in motion. If you're going with a digital form, and you can't move the clock, then you're only left with the options of turning the clock off periodically or modulating its color. The best thing (strictly from a screen-burn perspective) might be to select a font with maximum variability in form between successive numerals. If it's an LCD then as long as you're using the display for something besides the clock when it's in use, this should be much less of a problem. You can prevent image persistence by turning off the display for a few minutes each day. // jeff . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
