4.5
A faint image of a previous window stays on the screen for several minutes.
Symptoms
- Ghost images
- Retention
- Faint shadows
Possible Causes

- Overheating panel
- Bad display cable
Step-by-Step Fix
1
Run a "Screen Fix" Video
Play a video with rapidly changing colors to "reset" the liquid crystals.
2
Lower Screen Brightness
Reduces the heat and voltage that causes retention.
3
Set a Shorter Screen Timeout
Ensure the screen turns off when not in use.
When to See a Technician
Unlike OLED burn-in, IPS retention is usually temporary and disappears after a few hours of being off.
