VA LCD displaying static content for a very long time, will it get damaged?

[just_dave]

Hi,

I have a problem. Some ghosts keep waking my PC up every damn night and it won't follow the 10 minutes to screen off thing. So it stays on anywhere between 0 and 10 hours displaying the lockscreen. Will it get borked? I am an OLED user (have them everywhere) so I tend to avoid any static content harder than a priest avoiding demons.

The monitor seems fine so far but I'm afraid it will wear it down overtime, especially since it wasn't cheap and I'm looking to keep it for atleast 8 years.

Thx

Dave

No, unless the specific model has some underlying issue. VA doesn't burn in.

VA no problem I think but oled has that problems.And what ghosts are speaking?

All LCD will burn in if showing static image to extremeties

For example in public places (hospitals etc) they use lots of overhanging displays which are LCD yet have horrible image burnt into it

 

If you are not looking at the display, a simple fix is the power button

Yes sure OK but I can't control when the PC wakes up in the middle of the night and then refuses to turn the screen off like it's supposed to after 10 minutes.

Well if you want to ensure that the screen sleeps naturally, you need to take your computer offline (to not allow internet access) so that no online based activity will wake it up

Also check for tasks scheduled to run at night like backups and updates

 

If you shut down the PC but it turns back on at night, then someone or something is using the Wake-on-LAN feature to turn it on (which if it occurs at night, is probably due to a malicious unauthorized access to your PC) to get rid of that, you can disable the Wake-on-LAN feature in the BIOS, or simply unplug the ethernet cable that is used for internet access.

I disabled the wake-on-lan in device manager, hopefully it works
