Hey
I was watching tv on my Samsung LE37M87BD LCD last night, i fell asleep whilst watchin (had a few beers) and woke up this morning at 6am with the red bbc3 'back at 19.00' screen on, shows stop at about 4 - 4.30 so the tv will have had this static colour / text on the screen continuously for 1.5 - 2 hours
In the instruction manual it warns not to have a static image like this on the screen for prolonged periods of time as it can cause 'Image retention'!! Gutted
I cant see any burnt in image, but i only got the tv yesterday so im sure you can understand my paranoia!
am i worrying about nothing?
Im certainly not an expert on LCD screens so any help would be great
cheers
