Ok, I have a b**ch here. Has anyone else had a problem with burn in
on their 24 intel iMacs?
I recently took mine in for repair or replacement. They told me it
was burn in and wasn't covered by the warrantee. I've owned this
computer brand new since 6/09. It is on most of the time. But I

No, but I have read it can happen. Unlike CRT burn-in, it is a
temporary situation. There are utility programs that can chase it away
sooner.

I too understood that LCD monitors can't have burn-in. But exactly
what is this 'persistence'? Clearly it's not burn-in, since that's a
permanent condition of the phosphors and cannot be fixed short of
replacing the crt.
I'd like to hear some sort of an explanation of this phenomenon, and

I dunno, he kind of dances around the question of what actually causes
persistence:
What this does is cause the LCD crystals to have a memory for their location
in order to generate the colors of that graphic.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_persistence) actually has a good
explanation, FWIW. Perhaps the reason I haven't seen this on any of
our monitors yet is because I have them all set to power down in 2-3
hours. I do not use screensavers.
