At first I had my desktop image burned into my panel for a year, even after I removed the desktop image.Unfortunately I think my 246WP-BN is dying... I've got weird streaking and blotches on the upper right side of the screen now and there's a vertical line running down it that seems to exactly line up with where I put my Trillian contacts list. It's very visible on grays and blues - can't see it at all with whites or pure blacks.
If the splotches aren't there in screenshots that means it's not coming from the video card right?
This really pisses me off if it's gone bad right after the warranty expires - I always turn it off when I'm not using it, the brightness has been at 30% ever since I got it etc. Such crap, I paid $600 for this thing.
Now I have some sort of giant, shapeless burn-in that spans across pretty much the entire panel (parts of the left side, and then up across the top).
I get lines and things like you describe, mostly video game HUDs after long gaming sessions, which goes away after a few minutes to an hour.
