Screen Burn-In with OBi1000

(1/2) > >>

OB_Aaron:
Just setup my OBi1062 and absolutely love it. Question for those who have any of the OBi1000 series desk phones... any issues over time with LCD screen burn-in?  I know I could enable the screen saver (or turn off the screen altogether) but I find it distracting.  Currently I have the brightness turned down to the lowest setting (0) but still wonder if it will burn-in.

SteveInWA:
How old are you?  If you're old enough to have used cathode ray tube (CRT) displays, you remember screen burn-in, which was caused by the electron beam from the picture tube gradually destroying the phosphor coating on the glass.

There is no burn in on LCDs.

OB_Aaron:
Ouch, thanks. So the Screensaver function is purely for aesthetics then.

...or, to reassure people who believe there is still a need for a screensaver.

I beg to differ, although it can be reversed
