Image Retention/Burn-in on LCD set....?

[Alastair E]

This effect--May just be the panel itself.

The set is one of those cheapo Chinese 'NEON' make sets, a 32" that was dead.

The PSU caps were toast. All replaced, now set works and has a good picture....

However, There's a thin boarder/line around the picture about 1/8" in from the edge/plastic bezel all around that is darker and worse at the top right-hand side, either side of this line, that has indistinct edges, the picture is fine, Bright and correct.

I got this set from a Tele-advertising Co, they use TV sets at various places running ads for who-knows-what.
A Pioneer 50" set I was offered with a different fault showed a very hideous and very burned in image, but oddly no boarder around the picture....

Maybe its just another odd Chi-Mei Panel-fault to add to the list.....

Not ever seen an LCD set with what can be called a Proper Image-retention or image-burn of the screen, I was thinking that it wasnt actually possible on an LCD.....

What do you lot reckon?

Man!

I got s Samsung doing this too, I should take a photo and we can compare. The funny part is the right side looks better then the left the whole picture looks fine but if you look upclose on the left side it looks like the LCD looks like t-con misfire as you can see it move/flicker. I am not sure what to call it but at normal viewing distance it looks totally fine.

But I too have a perfect 1" clear boarder around the edge too.

But to answer your question, yes LCD TFT panels can get burn in, just not as fast as a plasma.
