It would appear that having the same application open for 14 hours a day everyday takes its toll on your monitor.

Hence, screensavers.

@Cyanide Unfortunately I’m working in the application all that time so screensavers would get in the way a little.

It's not a persistent problem. Turn it off for a while.

@Cyanide Ah, I didn’t know that. I’ll just switch my left and right monitors from time to time in that case. Thanks.

Lucky we aren't working on crt's any more. They suffer this fate much faster.

A visual studio guy? Hello there!

Switch to a more modern display technology :) last time I used CRT was years ago. Nowadays with LCD panels, I've never experienced this issue even when I work on one monitor and leave the content on the other one unchanged for hours, with - needless to say - screensaver not kicking in because I am still working on one of the monitors. Worth the investment!

@Condor This is LCD

My Iiyama ProLite panel also shows this behaviour. While the exact same screens(2) from the G-Master series does not (yet...)

Mostly to blame this type of memoryscreening is the type of panel, where the lightsource is always on, but blocked by a layer on top of that light source, where that layer doesn't properly react to the changes in voltage regulation.

I think mine are LED TN panels. GK2488something.

Sometimes I go in-game (CS:GO) and I flash myself a few times lmao

@joycestick Le Crappy Display then maybe? 🤔
