Hey there,
is it just me or is it incredibly easy to burn images into this particular monitor? funny because i have had this monitor for just a little over 2 years, and things have just started happening in the past couple months. it's become ridiculously easy to burn images into this monitor now, like if something's left on screen, within 5 minutes an afterimage will be there. even the ICONS ON MY DESKTOP and my WALLPAPER burn in after awhile. that CAN'T be normal.
i've basically had to give up using maximized windows for browsers and working on photoshop and such. it's gotten to be such a pain because i'm so paranoid about the mish-mash of burned-in crap that will tattoo my monitor.
before i receive dozens of suggestions for jscreenfix, rest assured i've tried running the jscreenfix program several times overnight (about 8-9 hours a night) already, and it's helped some of it, but there are still there thick, tinted bars (not very noticable, but i can sometimes see them if i'm watching a DVD on my computer), as well as the "file, edit, view, etc" menu bar from when i use a maximized window.
somebody PLEASE HELP!!!! :( :( :( :(
well, thanks compuguy44. but the burned-in images stayed no matter how low i turned the brightness and contrast.
now i'm reading that burn-in has to do with the liquid crystals in an exaggerated state of use, and if i leave the monitor off for a few days, it could go back to normal. which is pretty much the exact opposite of the jscreenfix idea, which is to leave that flickering screen on for hours, or even days at a time.
i really don't know what to do, and i don't want to buy a new monitor because i just don't have the budget for it right now. ugh. keep posting suggestions, guys.well, thanks compuguy44. but the burned-in images stayed no matter how low i turned the brightness and contrast.

No offense, but if you're an IT ignoramus, you should know how to fix this. I see you said 2 monitors, did you see that you could've added display to the second monitor making it look out of proportion? A simple fix is either adjust resolution, disconnect second monitor, or you could do the hardest one, test every single component related to display until you find the problem. Good luck with the last one,if you come down to it.
The latest upgrade is ver 1.9. It is a downloadable ISO in zip file format. Samsung recommends Nero to burn this. Burn this to a CD-R not a DVD. I also suggest burning at a slow speed... IE 10x and trying high quality media IE .... Verbatim. 90% of the problems are related to poor quality media or too high a burn speed. This disk has to be highly accurate for it to work correctly. I've updated over 40 of these particular players.
Hi this is
the way how to examine what's wrong with your LCD monitors. Power on both CPU
and monitor. After it went blank, you have to check that you can see the
image on the screen by shining a flashlight into the screen, not directly but
find the best angle to the screen and take a look very closely. If you can see
the icons or any image, there will be a minor problem. Like mine, I can see
window image using flashlight and check lamps inside. Some of them were broken
and it is very easy to replace. If you cannot see anything on the screen, there'll
be some problems with inverter board. If you have soldering tool and want to
fix it by yourself, check the caps first. It may cause this problem. Some caps
might show leaking or burn spot on the board because of too high temp. If you
don't have soldering tool, you better go get a technician to do so. Thank you, Tan
with out seeing the monitor i can just suggest pull out the cord which is in the old monitor and plug it into the new one, if it has the same audio plug slot, im not sure if the dell monitor has a special cord or not , so its hard for me to say sorry
Is the resolution set to the monitor's native resolution? Your video card must support the monitor's true resolution, this is particularly important with wide-screen LCD monitors.
