    I didn't think that is even possible anymore :-S. If you look at the attached pic you can faintly see in the middle the wavey up and down lines of the Vaio logo, my old wallpaper!

    i'm seeing it to. there was a free utility that randomly cycled all the pixels on your screen (or something like that) that i saw a while back. unfortunately, i don't remember the name of it. i think i saw it somewhere on avsforum. it was supposed to help if you have image retention. although, i don't know if did anything for full-on screen burn.

    you could try running a 4:3 movie in fullscreen mode for a couple hours. if it's just image retention, that should clear it up.

    note: i read about this stuff a couple years back so my facts may not be up to date. anyone else...please feel free to correct me.

    edit: HA! i found that free tool i talked about. available here: http://www.jscreenfix.com/
