I’ve realised today that my LCD screen is suffering from burn in.
Apparently, it’s actually called “image persistence”, but I think that’s more corporate double-speak than anything else. The solution? Leave your screen turned off for long enough, or use up more lamp hours (and hence have to replace it sooner anyway) displaying a blank white image.
Just in time for the HSC! :D

We have to do the same with plasma displays or we get corporate logos from one company burnt into the screen before taking it to use for another company’s event.
Got new GNOME?
Ah, yes, but plasma is known to be susceptible to burn in (indeed, permanent burn in more often than not), whilst there is a prevailing myth that LCD displays don’t suffer this same problem.
How long do you have to leave/display white on the plasma displays for?
