    Multimedia dock - chances of screen damage in alarm clock mode?

    I love the multimedia dock! I am worried however about whether there could be any damage caused by leaving the screen on in alarm clock mode for several hours at a time.

    Just like with TV's and hud's back in the day... Not a problem with LCD!

    It won't burn into your screen... Now if it was plasma we would be screwed!
    the phosphors in plasma retain the image permanently, so you always see a ghost of it no matter what's onscreen if you have something on it for a while.

    I went to verizonwireless.com and looked for it but it was still listed at $29.99. Do you think it depends on your area? I'm in LA

    Anyway I did a search to see if it was being sold anywhere else and it looks like it starting to become available at other online places, but it won't ship until end of december

    it may or may not be a problem with droid phones but lcd screens can definitely have an image burnt into them. my old computer monitor is the proof.
