We're replacing a data acquisition system we had in our lab for the last six years. The system had numerous CRTs powered by a BlackBox VGA extender for remote viewing outside the control room. These displays are showing image burn in as can be expected since they are on 24/7 and the display does not change that frequently. A screen saver is not used as there is no input device remotely to "wake up" after the screen saver kicks in.
The new system is similar on the PC end except now LCD screens are going to be used. The first system is already show signs of age even though the monitors have only be on for about two week. A couple of questions:
- What would you expect the life expectancy of Dell LCD monitors to be?
- Any solutions?
We're thinking of having power switches at each monitor so that they can be powered up when needed and then probably have a timer to cycle the power after, say, 10 minutes.
Any other suggestion that come to mind?
TIA,
Mike W
