Screen burn-in / Image retention removal LCD TV

I made the silly mistake of leaving my DVD player on the menu of Easy Rider the other day, and ended up with Peter Fonda’s face burnt in on my LCD TV, which was as you can imagine more than a bit of a panic.

After reading around rapidly, and coming across jscreenfix I started to follow the instructions leaving it over night attached to a laptop hoping it would clear itself, I can tell you it does nothing.

All you need to do to resolve image retention / screen burn in on your LCD TV is to turn it off at the wall, allow the liquid crystals to return to their dormant state, say within a few hours then turn it back on and you will find it is back to normal!

Jscreenfix and other such tools, DVDs etc I am sure must just be for plasma TVs or stuck pixels, even though it says it removes light burn-in from LCD TVs.
