We have been advised to use LCD rather than plasma monitors because of burning/fading. Our experience with LCDs is that they also fade, especially if the "attraction" or "sleep" screen is fixed rather than animated. The more you can have your images move around the screen, the longer it will appear not to fade.

Greetings,
We are looking to add a large (at least 42"), wall mounted, PC driven
monitor to our Natural Science gallery. At the moment, the plan is for
visitors to interact with menus, video clips, and interactive software
using a trackball rather than via touchscreen.
Can anyone out there recommend a large flat screen monitor for this
application? A particularly good source? Any other advice? I was
thinking I could protect the screen with a piece of non-glare acrylic,
but perhaps there's a ready-made framing/mounting/protective product,
made with public spaces in mind, that I haven't come across yet.
Thanks in advance for you help!
