- Does a monitor which is always displaying pictures
- "wear-out" more quickly than a monitor which is
- displaying no picture, assuming that both monitors
- are always powered-up, and the pictures are constantly
- in motion to prevent burn-in?
-
- In other words,
-
- When the monitor is idle, is a screen-BLANKing program
- more "healthy" for the monitor than a program which
- bounces images of toasters about the screen?
-
- Will the tube "run out of gauss?"
