Answer» How long can you leave your monitor on before it burns the images on to it? Its not a LCD monitor an I dont want it too. My mom thinks that the monitor never needs shut off an some times I dont know how long its on.i dont know how long it takes for an image to leave a burn in, but doesnt her computer have a screensaver?I've never heard LCD monitors should be susceptible to burn-ins. Isn't that something that only affects plasma screens and really old CRT screens? But if you want to on the safe side do as Homer suggested and get a screen saver or let Windows put the monitor in standby after X minutes.It is a CRT but I dont think she does it that often any more. It came with the dell dimension 4100 so I dont know if it would burn images on as quickly.We have an old CRT monitor at my SCHOOL for the printer. The image of the printing software is burned into the monitor, but it's on that screen 24/7.

While LCDs are not susceptible to the burn-in the same way CRT monitors are, they do suffer from what the manufacturers like to call image persistence. It is fairly rare, but if it does happen, the user should run the screen with a single solid colour or bright white for an extended period of time. This will cause all of the crystals to be reset at a single colour setting and should erase any PREVIOUS image persistence. Prevention is by turning off when not in use, and by avoiding a static display, e.g by a screensaver. Pixels on an LCD can 'break' but it is pretty rare and most can be fixed.And we must not FORGET 'dead pixels'. When LCD panels are manufactured, sometimes they contain pixels which are stuck on one colour or no colour (black) and one thing you pay for with a more expensive monitor is the "dead pixel policy". Basically, with the cheap ones, you may have to accept up to (say) 3 dead pixels as long as they are not in the central part of the screen, whereas high end models may have a "zero defective pixel" guarantee, which MEANS they'll swap it for another one free of charge. Thats interesting, I try to keep them turned off when ever I can even if I'm doing stuff.
