LED & LCD Screen wear / burn-in / loss of contrast over time?

    Hello fellow Kemperers,


    The 9.0 USB audio update has transformed the Kemper into the main headphone amplifier in my studio, because of the awesome quality of the headphone output. This means the Kemper will be 'ON' almost all of the time, and not just when I'm playing guitar.


    Should I be worried about LED & LCD Screen wear / burn-in / loss of contrast over time when the Kemper is always on? Has anyone ever seen any screen wear on a Kemper or Remote that has been switched on for many accumulated hours? Could it cause any other issues I'm not aware of?


    Thanks! :)

    From a technical point of view YES,

    all electrical components age over time, some such as electrolytic capacitors age even if they are not used at all.

    The aging process is particularly significant for components that heat up considerably and/or are operated with high voltages (switching power supply). Basically, doubling the temperature tenfold the chemical processes.
