DSO screen burn-in worries?
(1/2) > >>
MikeK:
Should I be concerned with how much I leave my DSO on?  Although it's the older Rigol DS1052E it has only gotten occassional hobby use.  And I did the fan mod so it's very quiet.

But lately I've started to leave it on for hours during a project work session and wondered about screen damage.  Any concern?
Fungus:
No. LCDs/TFTs don't burn.

They do, but usually very very slowly.

Total non-issue. While it is possible to get forms of image retention with LCD screens, you would have to leave it on 24 hours a day for several years before it's even something to think about. The backlight will most likely wear out before the display panel itself has any problems.
MikeK:
Great, thanks.
