Its no big deal, I mean this thing was free and I have an extra but the background of my secondary PC has burned into the crt. I have decided to try to combat this by taking a screenshot of my desktop, inverting the colors and then having this negative image run as my screensaver for a week or two. Does anyone know if it will work or have any reason why I should not do this. (if It will screw it over more please tell me)

there is no conventional means of fixing burn in. your idea with running negative colors probably wont work, but it sounds interesting and I dont think it will damage your screen more so go for it.

If your CRT isn't one of those huge expensive ones, you could probably go to a computer recycling place and pickup someone else's for free that works fine (or a really tiny price, like 2 bucks). Lots of people recycle working ones all the time. Or you could buy an LCD screen, they get cheaper every day! I don't know if it will be easy or even possible to reverse burn in.
