Q13: What is Image Sticking, or Image Burn-in, or After Image, or Ghost Image in LCD panels?

A:Uninterrupted display of still or static images over an extended period may cause "burn in", also known as "after-imaging" or "ghost imaging", on your screen.

Always activate a moving screen saver program when you leave your monitor unattended.

Always activate a periodic screen refresh application if your LCD monitor will display unchanging static content.
