This article describes image burn in and how it can be prevented.

Today's LCD and LED monitors do not suffer from image "burn-in" the way CRT monitors of the past did. Today's monitors have what is called "image retention" or "image sticking."

The best way to avoid image retention is to limit the amount of static content on the display. If possible, turn off the display periodically for a period of time between 24 to 48 hours.

To reduce the possibility of image retention, we recommend:
• Displaying alternating black/white images for 48 to 72 hours
• Power down the unit for a period of time (minimum 24 to 48 hours)
• Use a screen saver when the touchmonitor is not in use

Image retention caused by static (non-moving) images displayed for lengthy periods is not covered under Elo warranty.
