Irreversible ?! Yikes. Ive been using my PC a lot with stationary
bars on the bottom etc. Thats LAME. After reading about how TFTs
didnt have burn in.




I wonder if the best attempt at fixing this would be to
simply take a full screen capture, use an image editing
program to "negative" that image then display that as a full
screen wallpaper for awhile. Of course there would be
drawbacks like the need to hide icons from the desktop and
using the "auto-hide" taskbar option, but if there is no
other recourse...

Or if the monitor has the ability to be rotated around then the OP could do
that and set the graphics card software/drivers accordingly. I've been using
my Dell TFT Monitor for about 4 years now with no hint of such a problem.
