9.6 Summary
Unlike permanent burn-in in phosphor-based displays, which is the result of a premature aging of the phosphors
of individual pixels, and thus, is irreversible, „Image Sticking“ in LCD panels can often be reversed to a point of
total invisibility.
However, the extent to which „Image Sticking“ can be reversed depends on the severity of the causes that
eventually led to „Image Sticking“; top in the list is the environmental temperature at which „Image Sticking“
took place.
A way to remove a retained image on an LCD panel is to run an all-white screen saver for several hours. Another
way could be turning off the LCD display for a longer period than the time it took for the static image to cause
„Image Sticking“.
As on a desktop monitor it is also possible to use a screen saver. Please remember the bigger the size of an LCD
monitor, the bigger is the danger for „Image Sticking“ or „Memory Effect“.
If you don’t use the eyecon software, please consider the other described ways to prevent from „Image Sticking“.

IMPORTANT!
„Image Sticking“ does not have to be a sustainable damage of your LCD display. The „Image Sticking“-effect
can not be compared with the “burn-in“ effect that can happen with static image contents on plasma
displays. „Image Sticking“ does also take much longer to occur than the “burn-in“-effect. „Image Sticking“
does not affect the length of the life-time of your display. The risk of „Image Sticking“ can be reduced to a
minimum by adhering to the given advice.
