That is the end of the study. We appreciate the time you gave it.
A note on what you saw. This study looks at how people respond to product tests that agree or disagree; some participants saw such tests and others did not. TintCycle, BlankRest, their developers, and any magazines or product tests you saw were invented for this study, and no test was run. The display you just saw was made by the research team and does nothing to your screen. There is no independent evidence that any short screen tool, including real apps that make similar claims, reduces or prevents image retention. On most modern monitors image retention is rare and fades by itself; manufacturers recommend a screen saver, letting the display sleep, and varying what is on screen.
If you would like your responses removed now that you know this, you can remove them below. You will still be paid.
