Seeing faint, persistent outlines on your MacBook Pro screen? You might be experiencing screen burn-in, also known as image persistence. This occurs when static images are displayed for extended periods, causing the pixels to age unevenly.
Unfortunately, true burn-in is often permanent. But before you panic, let's explore some solutions. First, ensure your brightness isn't excessively high. Reducing brightness can slow down the aging process. Next, use a screen saver or set your display to sleep after a short period of inactivity. Regularly changing the content displayed can also help. Try rotating wallpapers or using a dynamic screensaver.
While software fixes rarely eliminate severe burn-in, they can help even out pixel usage. If the issue persists and is distracting, consider contacting Apple Support for repair options. In some cases, a screen replacement might be the only solution. Prevention is key, so be mindful of static images and prioritize screen health to keep your MacBook Pro display looking its best!
