The monitor turns off automatically after a bit. Although I do turn it off anyway when I get up from the computer for any length of time. To avoid burn-in, which can still happen if you leave monitors on for, like, a month. Better safe than sorry.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

I've been using the same 17-inch monitor since 1998, and it has a very prominent burn-in from when I wasn't able to use resolutions higher than 1152x864. It's like an obnoxious frame and I can even see the Windows Start button if the on-screen colors are right.

How does not being able to use high resolutions cause monitor burn-in?
