JR-

The problem with "burned-in" LCD images (whether or not it can be fixed; I have not yet had an opportunity to try) is supposedly that the liquid crystal elements or molecules get "lazy" or something roughly like that. So, with a given voltage they will no longer change polarity/position as much as they originally did. One of the "repair" theories I have heard is to run some kind of test video on such a damaged screen that would make the "lazy" elements or pixels eventually respond properly again.
