From the old post below about the 2001's, showing the burn in after a few minutes of high contrast displayed I decided to try something.

I created a black backround and then wrote dell in white using paint. I let it sit for a few mintutes then loaded an all black screen back up.

I was actually able to see the dell that I had written before, it showed up as a very faint blue color. It appears though that after a few minutes it has dissapeared and everything is back to normal.

Am I missing something? I thought LCD's didnt suffer from burn-in, I thought that problem was mainly with plasma screens.

Anyhow, I guess it's not really burn in as the image was fine after a few minutes. So I assume that high contrast stimulated the pixels showing the white so much that it continues to glow for even a few minutes after the white is removed from the screen.

...of couse, it could have all been an optical illusion as it was very faint. Maybe I only thought I saw it.

Anyhow, anyone have any thoughts???
 
I'm no expert on LCD screens, but I will tell you this. If what you think was a "burned" image disappeared and your monitor looked normal in a few minutes, you didn't experience burn in. "Burn in" is a permanent disfiguring of the monitor that is even visable when the monitor is off. It is permantent damage done to the pixel that is irreversible. This might be a slight (or major) ghosting affect that you are seeing.

Does that help any?
 
Try it on a regular crt monitor and see if it happens

It could just be an optical illusion, if you look at a bright light and then turn off all the lights you will still see light still.
