Monitor image?

[Vega]

I have a Hyundai B71A 17" TFT monitor which is only around 6mths old, but it now has a sort of burnt in image (lines) of where internet explorer has been . What can i do about this, am i under any guarantee etc...and why has this happened anyway?

blimey, how long did you leave IE on the screen for? I'd just rma it and see what happens.

Not long thats why im a bit confussed as to why this happened in the first place

its called "image persistance" LCD's cant get "burn". just leave a totally white image on the screen till it fixes itself

That would be a solution, although it probably shouldn't be happening in the first place. I'd do what was suggested above and rma it, just to be sure that the monitor itself is not at fault.

How do i go about leaving a totally white image on the screen though?

There is a program available (sorry, don't have link here) that should fix it for you.

It basically flashes pixels on the display to "unstick" them.

that sounds good any1 know what this program is?
