Do Later LCDs Need Screen Savers?

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?"

    What we NEED is a clear, thin plastic screen to go over the LCD to prevent things like dumbass girlfriends getting their fingerprints all over my nice 15 inch laptop screen.

    I don't know about the rest of you, but my girlfriend is free to touch anything of mine...

    "why the fuck would I want to post anonymously?"

    Because few numb-nutted loud mouthes want to protect their identity.

    Aww my feelings are hurt. Afterall, a 'fucking' idiot is the worst kind! Please, could you just reduce the sentence to plain old 'idiot'? Pleeeeeeeeease? I don't want 'fucking idiot' on my record!

    "I judge based only on the information I am presented with."

    You judge with incomplete information? I personally wouldn't brag about that. Afterall, what do you think somebody would think of you who calls people 'fucking idiots' repeatedly? That's really all the information I have about you, so would you like me to make a judgement based solely on that?
