wmwhee Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Recently I purchased a used d200. Although it does not appear damaged, the monitor is not crystal clear. It's almost as if there is a faint latent image burned on the screen. I am unable to remove this effect by simply cleaning, wiping, the surface of the screen. For the sake of comparison, I looked closely at the monitor of my years-old d70 camera, and it appears crystal clear to me. Any ideas about what is going on with the d200 monitor? Thanks.

leicaglow Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Is it just the cover or the actual screen? I wonder if somethkng like a lens scrat h filler would work to clear it up, or maybe a dashboard plastic clearer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_halliwell Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 <p>If you gently moisten the surface with water (avoiding the edges of the screen), does the 'latent image' disappear and/or the screen become transparent again? </p> <p>I'm wondering if you can tell 'where' the problem appears? ie if it's an actual image, it's deep within the LCD structure; however, if the surface has been cleaned with a abrasive cleaner is should 'clear' with water, until it dries cloudy again. Michael's filler should work here. If a strong solvent has been used it could be irreversibly clouded.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
