Image-Persistence Cause & Prevention Image-Persistence is rare on LCDs but is something of which you, the customer, should be aware. What is Image-Persistence? A residual image from a previous screen is still viewable after changing channels/inputs. Sometimes the after image will fade away in a few seconds/minutes, but it is possible that the image is persistent and doesn’t fade away. This problem is most common on devices that use phosphor in the screen, but can also affect LCDs.
