Yeah well I didnt think LCD's were subject to any image retention (so the sales guy said over buying plasma) but after a year suddenly i have two black lines at the 4:3 box edges from watching some non HD cable. Went away on vacation and after 10 days all was good again but after another 6 months the lines are back, not a happy camper and will be buying this product before I put my remote through the damn TV, lol
I wish people like forcedtosignup wouldn't offer opinions that aren't based on fact. LCDs ARE subject to image persistence, which has the same effect as burn-in. My TV has shown that and after reading many other comments, I now know that this phenomenon is quite common. Technically, it is not burn-in, but it might as well be.
@PenultimateRun - It's possible and it happens, but I think that image retention only ever happens to the store display models that are constantly running the same thing.
All this does is alternate black and white. The method works, but instead of spending money you should hook it up to a laptop and do it on there. Simple, fast and free.
Soooo, it only flashes black and white? Not the multicolored tv static like JScreenFix? How exactly does flashing black and white for 20 minutes affect the stuck pixels or image retention?

LCD/LED monitors are not subject to image retention or burn in.
