For those interested, someone pointed out this great deal to me: http://www.pcconnection.com/ProductDetail?Sku=6732798 $110 after rebate. Has great reviews on NewEgg.com. I think I'm gonna get it to replace this GEM pos. H
Definitely something to look into, thanks. Do you have a link to the article or site? Here's another explanation that I got from the Techguy website: There is possibility that a circuit failed in your LCD monitor that is causing the burn-in problem. Any kind of long term DC voltage applied to the LCD panel itself can cause a burn-in of a static image. The displays use an internally generated timing signal that flips all of the voltages driving the LCD panel. This keeps the overall DC voltage at zero. If that signal goes away, you get some amount of DC offset and burn-in. Here is a rather technical article from an display engineering magazine that mentions LCD burn-in: http://www.videsignline.com/howto/59100203
Better yet... that's $10 less than 2 weeks ago. FWIW.... I've got 8 LCD monitors, and I'm using this Hanns-G as my primary because my TV tuner looks best on it.
