I did a video job a couple years ago where the customer insisted on buying their own LCD flat screen monitors. I don't recall what brand they used, but they stared to suffer from etching almost immediately. When I was looking into that I was told almost all LCD monitors will etch fairly quickly when used in that type of application. Usually within days and with some within hours the bright text will start to etch.
I have a little ten inch Sharp LCD I have had for many years that I use for a test monitor and occasionally for part of a loaner system when I have to send a monitor off for repairs. It has always had a great picture and has never shown any signs of etching even when operated on a fixed quad system for over six months.
I have a customer who wants me to loop out and install a flat screen for one of their cameras. Naturally I thought of Sharp.
As I flip through my TV catalog I notice that Sharp seems to have two lines. One is just Sharp and the other is Sharp Aquos. Anybody have any recent experience with either of these for fixed view CCTV applications regarding etching or lack thereof?
