Hello everyone!

Does anyone know if the iPad Pro is susceptible to screen burn (image retention) if left on for hours every day? I am developing an app for a Kiosk and the attract screen has a movie with >50% still, white, content (snow). So I am wondering if the white will burn the screen if it is on for several hours every day or whether the technology used in the iPad Pro is not impacted by screen burn.

i think you guys are confusing ' image persistence ' which is only temporary and removable by the home user ** on lcd screens ** , with apple's replacement policy on stuck pixels which are permanent, and require a replacement screen.

a prolonged power off period can also be used to clear image persistence on lcd displays.
image persistence is often permanent on CRT or Plasma displays.
