Yeah, I'm inclined to believe that I just got a bad unit (perhaps part of a bad lot of displays) because my older SB2 shows the clock at full brightness whenever it's off and it shows no signs of burn-in at all. The two SBs are in the same house so any power-related issues would probably affect both of them, unless the problem was the wall wart. The only other difference is that I dim the SB3 at night, but it seems counter-intuitive that the dimming would accellerate burn-in unless the displays don't like that PWM (that I assume is) going on, but again, that's just not very intuitive... -- rudholm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ rudholm's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2980 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=7614 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
