PRS-650 Effect of using "Saturated" view

Francois_4256 · 01-18-2011, 01:52 PM

I was wondering what the long terms effects of using the "Satuarated" view would be on the lifespan of the screen? I am not too concerned with battery life, but worry about any potential "burn in" affects?

I have noticed a very slight ghosting effect, even when I was not using the saturated view as described in the forums before, but as with everyone else it fades after a couple of page turns.

Has anyone heard anything either way?

Thanks in advance..

I don't think there will be any long term effects to using the "Saturated" view. E-Ink screens do not suffer the same "burn-in" effect similiar to other technologies. I suspect if one were to make the background darker they would notice more ghosting.
