[Q] Will this LED Laptop be prone to screen burn?

I just bought an Asus G73SW-A1 and I found out that it has an LED screen, so does that mean it will be prone to screen burn?

I don't think so...
@ jas below xD yaaay cheers for saying.. I'm scared to do another post

Holy crap. 9,999 posts. lol

But anyway OP I don't think led lcds suffer much from burning in

OP is confusing LCD, LED and Plasma. Only Plasma suffers burn-in, and the 'LED' of your screen is simply the backlight that is used which is, sometimes, more uniform and energy efficient than the traditional CCF technology.
That is all.

I'm not confusing anything. I know that Plasmas and LEDs suffer screen burn and I could've sworn it didn't say LED backlit...I'll check again but I think it's an LED screen...

LED=Light Emitting Diode
Working at a computer repair shop and actually took out the LEDs out of a screen. They are just a series of LED lights for the backlight. The screen is still and LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)

Are you sure this specific computer isn't an LED screen? They do make LED screens....

He is sure, its an led lcd,

I'm sure. It is impossible to create a screen just from light.How an LCD works is that it creates an image between two dark plates of glass, that heat the individual crystals making the image appear. But normally you can't see it, hence why you have the backlight. The newest way of lighting these LCD panels are LED lights. They are cheaper to produce, last longer, and have a better brightness. But that's about it.
If you want to do an experiment, open up the frame of your laptop screen, disconnect the inverter(which controls the backlight) turn on the computer and angle it at your room light, and you will see faint outlines of the system. But that only works with older laptops since the newer ones have the inverter built into the LCD and only use one cable that goes into the monitor, instead of 2, from the motherboard.

It's not impossible for only led, a car place in Paris had about a meter by a meter of red green and blue leds playing a video, looked awfule but was cool I guess

LED tv's = LED LCD
OLED and other variants afaik have no led back light and they can light up individually, which is why blacks are blacker as the pixel has virtually no power going to it
But Samsungs AMOLED and SAMOLED displays use Pentile arangment making thm not as clear as they share sub pixels, SAMOLED+ however uses RGB meaning its clearer The Nexus Galaxy uses Pentile to that amazing DPI comes up to actually be as clear / defined as the SGS2 , but more pixels too push so more battery eating and more gpu power neeed

You're talking about disparate technologies that have nothing to do with each other. LED displays do exist, but are usually only used as a cost effective way of creating massive outdoor displays. LED TV's are again, just LCD with an LED backlight.
Your laptop has an LCD screen. Be thankful!

Okay good to know then. I'm getting the sgs2 also. Will that have screen burn?

Stuck-Dead Pixels

This is an open poll for everyone, share your experience with those nasty pixels, you got one? Two? More? None? :fingers-crossed:

No dead pixels here. But with such high PPI, i think it might be hard to notice a single bad pixel.

None that I can see.

None for me also very happy.

I got one and it's going back as soon as they have more in stock..

Unfortunately they say that up to two dead pixels is normal so they will not replace it

Another quick way to ensure that your screen is ok is the service menu,
directly from the dialer press:
*#*#7378423#*#*
then under the "service tests" choose "display" and tap on the screen,
the stuck pixels can be found easily on black and white screen tests.

"Does Your Z Transform Into A Microwave Oven?"
The Z; the phone that keeps on giving Next poll:
- YES! : ██████████ 70%

- No : ██ 10% ​

2 Z's both with dead pixels. The guy in the store was really patronising earlier. Will visit him again tomorrow!

Very important ! --> Check it on FULL brightness , a pixel mistake shows then only .....
Use Dead Pixel Test (UJACHA) app from Plays Store.

I test 2 xperia z with 2 bright pixel on each phone until the third one with none.
The best way to test it is by looking at the start up screen when it was black and bright. You may have to restart the phone many times to make sure.
Sony screen looks very nice but always have the bright pixel problem. I encountered the same thing when I purchased the first Sony Xperia S. Always got these with Japanese phone.

Well, I thought that my XZ had one dead pixel, but after closer examination, I'm sure it's a screen protector manufacturing flaw. When you look at it straight farward it looks like a black pixel, but when you look at an angle, that the light reflects from the surface this dot starts to shine. It' s like a piece of glitter embeded in screen protector :/

"Normal"
are you kidding me?
wtf is with the tech world now...

Just took my Z back to cpw. New one will be delivered on Tuesday. Fingers crossed for no dead pixels! !
What I did notice though is that my first 3 Z's had no seals on the boxes. Yesterday cpw had some more that were factory sealed. Must be a different batch. The Z is sellung like hotcakes as they were out of stock today.
Dead pixels is a trivial matter and most people wouldnt even notice. But they stand out like a saw thumb to me and irritate the hell out of me.
To check... use dull brightess, turn off adaptive lighting and useba black image

Anyone switching to s4 active?

I have xperia z and i love it. I always swim with it on the beach. Even dive about 24ft on the beach while filming. No problem.
Its just the battery and the speakrrs for me after being wet get so weak. But everything else is good.
I just want to know anyone have try the s4 active and is it better? Thanksd.
I have it for about 5 months now.

Swimming with XZ, man you are asking youself a trubble If the salt water gets inside you can expect your phone to die soon.

No man, all people saying that is bull.
Ita just all my waterproof phone moto defy, xperia active, xperia z been using them in salt water with no problem.
Just dont let the any water salt/fresh inside the phone then its all good.
And i dont care about amolet or not because its just a wate of time to argue all i want is that my screen is usable.
Im just afraid that the samsung active have a small rubber seal. Not like in xz all the port have big ass seal.

Both has the same ip7 so my guess is the same. From pocketnow review of s4 active, the screen of the active can't be used when it is wet while the z can. I mean Wet, not when submerged. For the speaker I'm not sure. Cause I don't have the s4 active hehe.

Z's screen isn't any better. Tft too. To me, looking from YouTube reviews of z vs active, the active looks brighter and it looks better than the z. Maybe its just me. Hehe. And one advantage of the active is the flapless audio jack but I'll never trade the beautiful xperia z just for that.

TFT on the active vs the amolad screen on the S4 that's what I ment. The active is waterproof but specs wise the active isn't as good as the S4 and yes the flaps can be annoying but we'll I think so that the z looks better then the active. The Z actually has better specs then the active. In some areas.

Processor if it does make a difference which I believe does.Battery cause im a heavy user. The screen which looks better imo(from video review, not seen it myself) . Advertisement of it to actually be used to take photos under water. That's all I like. But I won't buy it.

U can take fine pictures and videos underwater with the xperia z. It always works for me just fine. And I agree I am a sucker for removable batteries. I do think the active is not a very good looking phone. Imo.

Yes I agree. Then some ppl will come in and say don't you read the manual? You can't bring in to the pool blah blah. The water resistance is just for accidents. Just because you have an airbag doesn't mean you go crash your car lol. I guess it's just to each of his own on how one wants to use it but not blaming Sony / anyone if it damages your phone.

Guys i already got the active.
Screen
And damn the screen is so better! Way better than my z
I dont care if its amoled or not. As long it is usable in light i dont care realy.
Battery
The active is longer but not much (on my use)
But hate the active for not having a dock or wireless charging. Im scared the flap might get thorn in time.
Build
Z is better. Because the back of active is very scary, i mean when putting it under water i get much more confident in my z. But the build quality is better than s4
Camera
The z of course.
Other thing i notice or my personal preferences
Gps lock better on active
Active is faster on daily basis but not much
And the speaker after getting wet is still very loud not like the z.
Im using my main phone is galaxy note 2
And my secondary phone i think ill be using active because of the battery.
But when im goint to the beach for vacation ill be using the z.
All i can say is that you canot go wrong with both phones.
Lets not hate active or z. Remeber its just a phone guys.

Ultra Z has as far as I know added the resistive touchscreen layer on top of capacitive. so it's a no for Z1 unfortunately. I still hope that there will be available styluses with different levels of presure recognized - something like that for example: www.wacom.com/en/us/everyday/bamboo-stylus-feel
