If you regularly read our articles, you will probably have taken a look at our article called "LCDs with persistent images". In a nutshell: some flat monitors would be subject to a phenomenon of marking that isn't easy to erase.

Not so long after writing this article, I changed my monitor and got a very nice burn in, or to be accurate full monitor persistent images. The monitor in question is the ViewSonic VP231wb, a 23 inches IPS. This technology the most subject to this kind of problems according to unofficial sources.

We permanently used to see marks of Writer (OpenOffice 2), a picture in the center of the monitor (due to the too long exposition of a web page) and traces of Outlook. Displaying a white page during several straight hours didn't change the situation. However, after a week of holiday, almost everything disappeared. There is just one slight vertical line left due to OpenOffice.

I seize the opportunity with this news to pre-announce the release of an article. This happen less and less often, especially after the articles about monitor's electronic components, burn-in…, but some of you continue to say that we outrageously favourite LCDs compared to CRTs. Well this info will please you if you are one of them: LCD monitors will have a hard time very soon!

Release date: soon.
Target audience: gamers first of all but also video enthusiasts.
Object: release of a new test that shows new very interesting facts."

We've all heard about image persistence problems on some of the new apple 23'' CDs...i was curious if this applied to the older apple panels as well (the ones that use the same panel as the sony 23'' display)...

is this just the newer IPS panels that apple is using or does it in fact apply to IPS technology in general like the article suggests?
 
Every display techology is prone to burn-in...even crt's. Plasma has the bad reputation as the most likely to burn-in (although I haven't had any in 2 years with mine) and lcd a distant second place. As far as IPS panels having burn-in issues I don't know...I have only seen lcd burn-in once and that was on a 6-7 year old Toshiba laptop (old TN panel tech) that I was given for work. I believe the previous user probably left it plugged in the wall and turned on overnight with no screensaver on a regular basis because there was a faint outline of the start button on every screen. Lcd's with normal use usually don't have burn-in issues.
 
I think this is probably true. I just bought a Sony S205F, a monitor that flatpanels.dk reports to use a LG.Philips LM201U04 IPS panel (apparently same as the Dell 2007FP, NEC LCD2070NX, and a bunch of others). Today, I just noticed that I have "persistence" from leaving a DOS-based diagnostic running for 12+ hours. The other monitor I have, a 15" Philips-branded TN panel from over 6 years ago, has never given me such issues after all the (ab)use I gave it. Nor have I seen any issues with the Samsung PVA panel I have at work.
 
I have zero problems with image persistence on a Dell 3007WFP (it's a S-IPS LCD).
