Sleep mode also saves $ in electricity bills even though the monitor is still drawing power, it's not as bad as if it was on all the time.
do you have a link verifying this? im just curious becuase ive never read that it is possible at all before..
the way i understood it, you can have the same image up for 2 weeks.. it just will take longer to go away the longer its up.
or if you have the same image up for 4 months, it will just take a very long time to fade away. i thought permanent/forever burn-in on liquid crystals was impossible..
im sure if the same image is left up for an insane amount of time, therefore takes an equally insane amount of time to go away, they are going to assume its there forever. but im not sure if thats the reality of how LCDs work.
