Hey, I have a 17" Apple LCD monitor and I notice that when I have a black background there is a slight residue of the OSX login screen. Do LCD monitors suffer from burn in, the way old CRTs did?

If so can you have a screen saver run on the login screen?

If it's a laptop, it could be the light coming in from the clear Apple logo on the backside of the laptop.

I know what you are talking about. The Flurry screen effect is a perfect example. The screen will fade to black then the color flurries will begin to move around. The flurries will leave a slightly different hue of black that is not the same as the black the original fade to black was.

That happens on my CRT, too.

LCDs can "burn in" over time (it takes longer than a CRT, generally.) Usually if you leave the LCD off for a few days or so, it will clear itself up. At least that is what I have found.

This Apple Knowledgebase article tells you how to fix it.
