Hey people,

I've had a problem for a while now on my main monitor that I've been wondering if i could fix?

As the title says its monitor burn (i think) but not permanent, to give an example

If i were to have this on my screen for say about an hour, almost everything white at the top of the screen will have a faded yellow outline on it my actual screen, it does disappear after a days time but its quite frustrating when its there. its also why i have a horrible background as well, anything brighter than black will stain.

Another reason it a pain is because if i'm on a game, CS:GO for example, there is UI at the top of the screen that is static, and matches can last a fair amount of time, enough for it to burn in anyway

Just wondering if its fixable or indeed what the problem actually is, or if i should had it in to get a fix when i can
appreciated ,

What model number is the monitor? Is it a television?

Temporary burn-in would be what's known as "image retention", and tends to be more common on certain kinds of television panels...

It's generally less common on computer monitors, as the manufacturers expect them to be displaying the same content for extended periods, and tend to avoid screens that can exhibit those kinds of effects.

from what i've seen from other reviews it seems i might of just gotten a bit of a short straw as there isn't any other complaints about it,
