frozen/burned screen or pixels?
this is on a dell 2007wfp rev a02
ive heard of this problem for old monitors, hence the need for screensavers, but i never heard of it on an lcd, but when viewing a grey background i can see images of what was on the screen from ealier, its the lock screen login window as well as i can see the taskbar (its on the top of my screen)
ill post some pictures to show what i mean
these pictures are both on grey backgrounds
in the 2nd one you can see the locked screen's window as well as the taskbar at the top
it seems that whatever is on my screen for a long time is there
what can i do?

How often do you have it turned on? Do you use a screen saver?Here's a post by moderator Chris:I also read somewhere else that there's an option in the service menu (dunno if they meant the OSD or what) where there's a burn-in option for the monitor. I haven't found the option on my monitor...
