Posted June 29, 2019 I have an Acer Predator Gsync XB241H monitor, and I noticed within the last month of use, a white line on top where the searchbar meets the navigition and title bar in most apps, theres a transparent brighter line that goes across. My background is a mountain range and a river, and theres also a brighter transparent line that's in the shape of the river. I thought only plasma TVs and OLED panels got burn in, but can TN panels get them too? Is that even burn in Anything I can do to fix this? Any help would be appreciated. .

Posted June 29, 2019 LCDs can still get burn in, but you'd have to have something static on screen for a long time for it to actually become a problem.

Interesting. my monitor usually goes to sleep after like an hour of inactivity. My other monitor, which is a 60Hz HP monitor doesnt have burn in, and ive had that one for around 6-7 years. Are 144hz monitors more sensitive to it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted June 29, 2019 Seems like a defect to me with the panel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted June 29, 2019 Yes this can happen on TN panels, I literally have some with the exact same lines from where the browser's address bar ends. You can somewhat fix/combat this particular kind of 'stuck' behavoir with a white screen as a screensaver/lock screen. However once you get the line you can never really get rid of it permanently, the white screen will help loosen up those pixels but they can return pretty easily to the stuck state.

Posted June 29, 2019 Its not real 'burn in'. Though the affect is easily misdiagnosed. When a LCD monitor displays such affects it is almost always a fault within the monitor, sometimes fixed with a firmware update, other times requiring board or panel replacement. Short answer is , its not burn in. LCD display cant 'burn in', they simply dont produce enough heat and consume enough power to damage the themselves in that way. Neither do they rely on organic substances that can degrade rapidly like OLED causing the so called' burn in' they suffer from. Again though even OLED technically dont burn in, they if anything 'burn out' as the pixel, or rather sub pixels ,organic nature wears out over time reducing their ability to accurately produce color. They dont actually damage the panel. Plasma and CRT 'burn in' however did, you could turn a screen off entirly and see the burn in on the screen still, as it was damage to the screen from the high temperature high energy nature of those displays.

Thanks for the info man. That's great to know. So you think if a firmware update doesn't fix it, I might need to change the panel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check with the retailer and/or manufacture see if ur covered still, just dont mention the phrase 'burn in' otherwise they will use that as an excuse to wipe their hands of any responsibility. And if they try to call it burn it, call them out on it, because a LCD cant 'burn in'.

Posted June 29, 2019 Author Will do. Not sure if I still do since this monitor is around 3 years old now but I'll try. Its not super noticeable so its not a terrible issue but doesn't hurt to check. Really appreciate it man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 17, 2020 I have exactly the same issue on my 4 year old TN screen. Right where the internet browser menu ends. Did you end up finding a solution for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 17, 2020 I really don't care if it does, because it's so dirt cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
