I have had one of these TV's for a couple of years

Teco 32 inch HD LCD TV TL3281RT

however recently i have noticed that there seems to be some image retention on the screen.

What i have learnt is that i need to create a jpeg that is just a fully white picture to display on the screen overnight and this can "erase" the retention image.

This is where my problem comes in. According to the TV specs the max resolution is 1366x768 so i created a jpg that size and burnt it to a disk to play in the dvd. However it does not fill the entire screen it still leaves slight borders top and bottom. Even if i stretch the picture as much as i can. Yet when i view dvd's i can make the picture fill the entire screen with no borders.

Am i missing something here???? What size jpg do i need?

Any help is much appreciated.

is it possible plug a PC into it?

I guess i could, but i would need a lead to connect either my mac or my 15 year old laptop that i used to use for VAGCOM.

Can you not use one of the stuck pixel vids, burn onto a DVD-R and run on loop over night?

What is a "stuck pixel vid" ???

And where do i get one??

Just turn the bl00dy thing off?

Will you really notice sections of retained image on the top and bottom few lines of the display? Can't you just try the dvd you've made? and see what happens.

Turning it off overnight doesn't cork. Thats why its called image retention:rolleyes:

If i can't get something to fill the full screen then that is what i am going to have to use i guess.

LCD's dont usually suffer from image retention but when they do leaving it switched off usually refreshes the panel

:iagree: with allan. The usual advice over on AVForums Home with retention / screen burn with plasmas is to put the tv onto a channel that's not tuned in properly (so you get the snow screen!!!)

Leave it like that for a while and see how you get on with that:thumbup:

Sorry mate, did not want to seem negative

The reason you get the borders is most likely because the DVD player is outputting your photo at a TV resolution as it's a "video" signal.

A bit surprised to hear about the image retention. What exactly is the problem / what do you mean by "retention"? Is it like a logo stays on the screen even when you change to another channel? Is it possible to take a photo? I'm curious

Trouble with that is, most modern tv's will switch to a blue/black screen or even turn off if they aren't receiving a proper signal.

I'd go with the turn it off theory personally, leave it unplugged for a couple of days as technically, you cant get phosphor burn (posh name for screen burn) on a TV with no phosphor in the screen as is such with LCD, I dont think I've ever heard of anyone actually succesfully fixing a dead/stuck pixel with those pixel vids either?

We have quiet a few LCD computer monitors at work, that we use for monitoring purposes and virtuallt everyone of them has a permanent image of the software on the screen when you minmize the application. We have not found a way to remove this yet, apart from giving the monitors to someone else and it goes eventually.

Hmm, our monitors run a taxi booking system which involves most of the screen displaying the same image all the time it's turned on, 2 of the screens are on 24/7 and the other 6 are on for a min of 12 hours a day, we have the monitors set on energy saving mode where they switch off after 30 mins of inactivity and dont have any problems with image retention/burn.

We currently use LG LCD's but are having a new system installed in Feb.
