burned in screen image?

[Nora]

I'm just curious but, will an lcd monitor burn in an image the same way a crt will if left on the same screen for to long?

Also, what has physicaly happened to a monitor to continue to show the same image even after the page has been changed?

As I recall there is a difference between image burn-in and image persistance. I think CRT burn in was permanent but image persistance can fade or be undone. I have seen some LCD's with chronic image persistance problems that were replaced by manufacturers. I have an NEC 20wmgx2 I can leave on forever and nothing will show. I had another one that was new that would show borders of browsers after 5 minutes. NEC replaced it.
