Please fill me in on what LCD does this? You fellows must be confusing a rear projection LCD with a Flat panel LCD. Mine has never had image retention.... I mean zero. There's nothing in the menu to even correct for such an issue.The only panels I've seen with screen washers are plasmas not LCDs.
Find me a manufacture's owner's manual that even warns of such issues. I can't find it any where in the ones I've looked in. So I'm lost on where you fellows are finding this info. I'm sure they would include this in the manual, if they include it in the manual for their plasma counterparts.
In fact check out Samsung Plasmas and LCD manuals. Panasonic as well.
One of the first statements you'll see under the plasma manuals is a warning about image retention. This isn't any where in the LCD or LED counterpart manuals.
Ok..I did some more research and came across a Mitsubishi manual stating image persistance not retention. Because of the liquid crystal always changing state do to electrical charges. This phenomenon isn't permanent as it can be with a Plasma. Even this is said to be exremely rare. I find this hard to believe as well. Sen plenty of these on installs, never a one with this issue, nor a Sony LCD either.
I've use and abused my LCD everyday for over a year now. Icons and start menus on the screen every single day. Never in the 16 months I've owned it has this ever been seen.
