RE: You are definitely confused

It is image persistence moron, not image retention. I stated I found one manual mentioning this, though it looks to be several years old. I'm around LCD screens daily, never have I seen the pixels stick on any of them. And yes several have static images all day at least 6 days of the week. I have a CRT monitor here with burn-in as well as a Plasma. The CRTs are even worse with this. I'll state again IMAGE PERSISTENCE and IMAGE RETENTION aren't the same thing. One is permanent one is not.
Your header! "LCDs also suffer from image retention"
It is as you're trying to insinuate one is as significant as the other..not true. Images don't burn into an LCD screen.
When I say you guys, I'm talking you and Murphy. Go find me some up to date manufactures manuals that have warnings of image persistence in LCDs.
Pathetic is some one who allows himself to believe a fading technology is cutting edge. There are a reasons plasma's are fading, cost is only one of the factors.
The manufactures plainly state this in the manuals as warnings, but some still think it is a thing of the past..that's pathetic.
