Quick Flexview question--

#1 Post by kangazoom » Thu Jun 17, 2004 12:46 am

Would Flexview screens burn out quicker than regular screens, because it uses so much power?

LCD screens don't burn out (or burn "in"). That's one of the advantages of the technology. In theory, they can last forever (unlike phosphors in a monitor, which do degrade over time).

Of course, you can always have the backlight or the inverter fail, but I doubt that would be related to the power consumption.
