Do Later LCDs Need Screen Savers?

Posted by Cliff on Sunday June 22, 2003 @08:57AM from the two-steps-backward? dept.

bwdunn asks: "Do we need to run screen savers again to prevent the burn-in we saw on the very old CRTs? Dell's latest and greatest laptops, the Latitude D800 and Inspiron 8500 both suffer from horrible screen burn-in problems with burn-in visible after as little as 2 hours. Dell claims this is an industry wide problem. The high end displays from Apple also seem to have this problem. I have never seen this problem before 2002. Is this something new due to inferior LCD screen manufacturing compared to screens from just a few years ago?"

please do some research on sarcasm. [not "look up the definition of sarcasm", but go find out the origins of sarcasm, some famous works of sarcasm, etc]

Then shut the fuck up.
