DESCRIPTION
LCD Scrub... Liquid crystal displays are susceptible to image persistence (what we used to call “burn-in” on old CRT monitors). Unlike CRTs, however, LCDs with image persistence can often be repaired with special video patterns, saving the cost of a repair or new display. LCD Scrub uses recommended techniques from Apple, NEC, and other manufacturers (plus some of our own tricks) to gradually “scrub” away residual images from liquid crystal displays.

    GMAX  Who, in their right mind, would pay $18 for this when there are several free alternatives?

    DSANDLER  The free alternatives have a number of limitations. Standalone apps must be started manually; they don't work unless you remember to use them. Java applets can't draw over the entire screen, and a great deal of image persistence on Macs occurs in areas a web-based tool can't touch (e.g. the menu bar and Dock). Finally, I'm not aware of any other software that uses high-contrast moving patterns like the ones pioneered by LCD Scrub, which, in my own personal experience, have worked where other techniques and tools did not.

    HAGI  To avoid image persistence and improve the lifetime of your LCD the main color of the displayed image should be

    WHITE

    Unfortunately most screensavers (including Apple-Screensavers) use

    BLACK

    as main-color. This is good for CRT-Monitors (but who has still CRT ???).
