LCD Burn in

[.Mark]

Wife's school has been running an LCD TV as a kind of welcome type thing in reception scrolling pictures and news etc. But lately it's been showing signs of burn in on the parts that change less frequently.
Is there a way of loosing it somehow? Or time to get the Governors to stump up more cash?

I had thought about leaving it displaying a solid colour for a while but not sure that would do it?

If its got an analogue tuner, flipping it to that and then selecting a untuned channel for snow often shifts it.

You mean let that run for a bit? Guess it probably does have, it's a Samsung a few years old now.

You could connect a DVD player and run a Pixel Protector DVD on it. Although it's 18 quid I've read good reviews here and there - get it from here www.pixelprotector.com if you're interested. You might be able to get it cheaper elsewhere.

Assuming it has no auto blue screen, otherwise you'll need an old VCR turned on and connected via SCART/S-Video/Composite

If its an old Philips (ive seen loads of them go like this even though its suposedly not possible on an LCD) then is usualy about time for a new one.
