hwinfo caused burn in on my old samsung monitor, it's not that important, the monitor is old but it's very strange.

i thought ips monitor can't get burn in!
My foult its TFT, samsung P2350.

Are you serious?
Hardware permanently damaged software?

And why do you think this is caused exclusively by HWiNFO? If a monitor experiences such burn-in I believe it's a design fault.

don't worry, I often use hwinfo and it's on that other old monitor, I didn't want to blame anyone because it's a TFT and the monitor is really old, I just found it strange that there was an imprint of hwinfo, but I use it most often and it's on to that monitor. since you, Martin, are the author, maybe you could implement something that would protect TFT monitors.

I believe it's not just HWiNFO but anything else can cause this. You might try the Dark Mode (both in Windows and HWiNFO) to mitigate such effects.
